Hi, I don't have advice- but have the same problem! I'm frustrated that I purchased this camera and now can probably not return it!!! Good luck!! let me know if you find any tricks to get better pictures.

I've had no motion blur so far. Using the flash in Program mode would reduce blur.

Mr.V, if you can't get good pictures indoors with the A630, please have the camera checked. I can get perfectly good shots by the light of a single candle. Something's not right if your camera is blurring everything indoors.

I have a response similar to Alston's, in that I have not experienced image blur with either games or screens with fast movements/action. The only thing I can think of is that the picture setting you are using may have the "Motion Smoother" on a different setting than it was in before. I hope that helps.

I used my canon only a few times. Did not try the video, but I found out that if you do not hold the camera steady the shots come out very blurry. It seems impossible to get a clear shot because the camera is too small.

I think I have a solution. The way to fix this is to play around with the camera settings. First, set the camera to the 'P' mode on the little wheel that turns. then press menu. Scroll to the right until you come to the 'focus' setting. sroll up to 7.0m, and you shouldn't have that problem anymore. After that's done, scroll over to the REC Mode and make sure its set to 'normal. That should fix it, It was bothering me too ;)

HORRIBLE! I have taken about 300 pics of elementary school basketball....90 % of them are blurry, or too bright. I tried every setting?? So far I am very frustrated with this camera! There is supposed to be image stabilization? Also, the only "motion" or "action" setting I see is the pet setting?? I am sure part of the problem is that I am a total amateur photographer, my point is this is not an easy camera to use.

You need to use the mount with a tripod head dude. I get nothing but ultra smooth shots.

Yes it seems to be in slow motion when using the Magic Pix(nightshot) mode.. although I'm not sure how this looks when transfered to P.C.

Hi Lisa, I took pictures at an indoor water park. The pictures came out okay. I just scrapbook the pictures, I don't typically blow them up to 5x7 or 8x10. So, for my use the pictures are fine. The fast movements were a little blurry. I have not taken any underwater pictures yet. I took the camera outside for our school snow days. Those pictures in the sunlight were bright and colorful. The fast movements came out okay. I have a few inside pictures during the day and they look pretty good. I have one picture taken at night in my bedroom. My navy blue shirt looks great, but my face is a little orange/yellow and the bedroom in the background is not crisp at all. I think the lighting is responsible for that. I have a few movies on the camera, but can't play them. They are MOV. I tried Quicktime, movie maker, media player. I'll have to play around with it. I hope I don't have to convert these. So, at the moment I can't give you any information on the movies. I wanted the camera to take out to the pool and so far it seems like it will work great for our use. Please let me know if I can help with any else. I'm not sure what you mean by artifacts. I don't think graininess is an issue, but I'm just a mom taking pictures of kids and my photography knowledge is limited.

Hello, Maybe try turning flash off, if you haven't already. There is also a macro mode built in this camera to account for close up shots. Hope this helps. :)

You can set the ISO to a high setting and get fast shutter speeds. That will make the pictures sharp.The action setting should do this automatically.

As has been mentioned, vibration and a lot of movement will cause distortion. Also extreme light or extreme darkness will cause a grainy picture. but keeping camera steady, not moving you head a lot, and average lighting should give you acceptable video.

I am seeing Same issue. I wasnt able to take a single "background defocused" snap yet in a month. :(

have you check the ISO youre using? I had the same problem when i had my setting at the highest ISO. I now just leave it as AUTO and have great pics. If thats not the problem, then i dunno what is. Sorry!

yeah, it's not a great camera to begin with and it's probably breathed it's last breath. My camera has always been blurry and I've been disappointed with it. It's dead
