Default Washed out signs

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?
