I’m doing a Camera-only animation. The object (the head) does not move. The camera moves around it.
The clear image is what I see when I click the Camera icon. The dark image is what the Render looks like. Dark and fuzzy. I used the default Camera setting as far as F-stop, etc. I didn’t mess with any of it. What am I missing? (I’m brand new to animation in Blender).
Looks like your first image is in solid view (Not rendered, it’s just showing you the scene from the camera’s point of view), and the second is rendered, without lights or anything. I would try adding some basic lights and see if that helps.
Solid:
