DIGITIZED COPIES OF FILMS OUT OF FOCUS

These films were not out of focus but were not properly digitized and in some cases are almost unreadable. I suggest you check them and redigitize them from the original films:

Film Numbers: 8165356, 8165342, 7713532, 8046162, 8065875, 8074371.

I hope somebody at FHL looks at this message.

    I am not connected with FamilySearch

    I notice the first 3 microfilms are described "Microfilmes de reducción 42x. Use lector de alta ampliación"

    There was a recent topic where there were also problems with films with similar wording, typical English wording being "High reduction (42X) microfilm. Use high magnification reader".

    The previous topic was "Has anybody noticed that for some records, the digitized pictures have fairly low resolution? <200kB" https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/comment/383122#Comment_383122

    As a result of this topic, @genthusiast posted on 8 October 2021an Idea, as advised by FamilySearch Support, in Records (Searching and Viewing)

    Re-imaging/digitization Requests

    https://community.familysearch.org/en/discussion/104822/re-imaging-digitization-requests

    Sadly, not a single person connected with FamilySearch has bothered to reply to the question asked in that Idea "What is the FamilySearch process/channel to officially request and verify images are at their best resolution or need re-digitization?"

    @Mark McLemore @N Tychonievich Where should such problems be posted, and are such problems going to be treated as problems by FamilySearch, or is it useless even to be hoping the problem will be addressed.
