I am using a Kodak Z650 Zoom camera to try to make copies of old 35mm
slides.
The results so far have been poor. I project the slides using a projector
to a
screen about 4 feet from the projector and camera. On the subject photo, I
can
see 2 signs on the bridge when looking at the screen. One says "Claremont,
NH"
the other is something about a 20,000 pound load limit. I reduced the ISO
to
80, the minimum. Set "High Sharpness". Tried Aperture priority set to
maxmim
number (smallest opening). Tried shutter priority at 1/2 and 1 second. I
use a
2 second delay so I don't shake the tripod}. The camera is set to 6 MP,
and if
I shoot a test shot of text printed on a piece of paper where the text is
the
same size as the signs, it comes out readable.
Any suggestions?

Remove "not" for return address.

If your camera has exposure compensation, experiment with different
settings. -1 would be a good starting point.
