After 9 months of perfect use, images turned blurry, misty, out of focus. Any ideas, solution???

When mine did that, it was simply a dirty lens. I cleaned it with a microfiber cloth. As the lens is plastic, is it possible that some substance came in contact with it and turned it cloudy? Sorry, these are the only simple things I can think of

Mine doesn't have that problem, it does have a problem powering up when the car is cranked, but I think that is due to the 32GB MicroSD card more than anything. Images are still clear. I do take it out of the car for the day when I arrive at work during the summer anytime the temps are expected to be above 90 degrees.

Just get rid of the whole thing. Mine was the biggest blurry piece of crap.

I have probably taken over 1000 pictures since my purchase of lens. I have not heard this problem. Call Tamron and speak with them. This is the second one I have

I'm having this issue, too. Camera seems to get confused and the whole frame becomes blurry rather than focusing on the one object. It takes several attempts to register what I'm trying to do, and then it's too late - opportunity has passed and subject has moved. Time to really study my manual I guess or maybe this is a shortcoming with this camera.

Ours died after 338 photos - The CCD (part that inputs images behind lens) is dead - Return it if you can, warranty it if you can, otherwise its trash.

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 ;)

I had the same problem. The photos were blurry and discolored. I did not send it back as I should have. It was no better than the one I replaced it with. I could get no assistance from HP

I have experienced the same thing but my camera is a few years old. Initially I had an awful time with its flash not working. Just as the warranty would expire, the flash stopped functioning. Nikon fixed it once and replaced the entire camera the second time. But now with this shutter problem, I am fed up. I do not trust the camera, and Nikon by extension. I have a 35 year old Nikkormat which is in my attic, which never gave me any problems. Bummer. I am in the market for another camera, not a Nikon.

Nathan, I think it could be a firmware fix as well. I tried the continuous AF mode as well and it didn't help.

That's the defect. I've experienced this, as well. It's not fixable. Your only option is return it and get a replacement, which will probably do that as well. Focusrite makes great interfaces. Get one of those;)

I leave the i-Contrast turned ON. That might help. I also find when I use the ZOOM I need to give it a second or two to focus and then I can take the photo. Still learning too but love this camera!!!!

try putting the camera on a table and taking a picture while is absolutely still. If it is still blurry I would call Nikon

Same thing is happening to me. Was taking pictures one minute, next minute, went to black screen. No abuse to camera. This stinks. Will try reinstalling software. Take care.Janice

My sister and I both had this camera and we had the same problem. I think that once you start having issues with this camera there is no going back. I would just upgrade. We never figured out why the glitch occurred.

I'd be curious to know as well. The 720SW had a fairly slow shutter, and one had to really concentrate to get a non-blurry photo. Unless, you enabled the stabilization, and then the photo got a little grainy... Anybody have feedback on that?

Thanks - I tried that and it helped a lot. I kept the ISO at 100, but moved to better light to try some photos and the shutter priority mode helped. Actually, the "use tripod" sign still flashed, but the photos were sharp (sharp enough for my purposes.) I also figured out a few more things that helped with trial and error.

Hi, problem probably came from the flash memory card, you may try with different one (fast one like San Disk Ultra II or Extreme III). If you still get banding on images, then it's the camera, you should return it or exchange for another one.
