lol, ok, now i have more time i can elaborate on this. the wormcam attaches to the top of the gba and you can take pictures with it and transfer them to your pc. no matter how bright it is in my house, or what light setting i have the thing on, my pictures turn out blury and to dark or too bright. the colors in the pictures are not correct, for instance i took a picture of a white piece of paper and it turned out tannish orange. hopefully software etc will let me return this thing.

Does it have a flash on it? If not, then that's the whole problem.

Your lights in your house are tungsten (yellow-orange) tint, so if the camera is balanced to daylight, that's why the white paper came out orange. As for being blurry, if it doesn't have a flash, it's probably too slow taking pictures indoors with your current light levels. So there's the blurriness.

Damn thing doesn't have autofocus or fixed focus. It only has manual focus. I'll get rid of what I got, the $20 pen cam does far better job plus it's faster on saving poicture and transferring picture to PC.

Most cheap camera has USB support, the Worm Cam only has serial port. >:(
