How do you take picture of moving objects? Mine takes blurry picture with the slightest move:((

Here are some tips: (1) try to get better lighting - low light is not easy to work with (2) don't zoom in if you don't have to, just get closer to the subject(3) follow the subject while you shoot if possible(4) use auto mode if in doubt (5) hold the camera with only your right hand, use your left hand to hold the wrist of your right hand to better stabilize your right hand and limit hand movement (6) do a half-press on the shutter release to let the camera focus before the shot, then when you're ready to take the shot, fully press it and it will already be in focus.

That's the big problem with this camera, there's no image stabilization... Not even for non moving subjects... I have te same issue...I'm very disappointed with this camera and the money I spent on it.

This camera does have optical image stabilization per Imaging-Resource's review "Maximum aperture starts off at a f/3.2, and falls to f/5.8 by the tele position. Optical image stabilization is included in the design." You may have to turn it on in one of the options in the menu.

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.

Personally, I haven't had a problem with minor movement or taking a picture on the move, briefly stopping for the pic, and moving again. We just completed a trip to Europe, and the photos were fantastic. Sharp and clear. But I think it's up to you and how steady you think your hands are. Most new cameras today, like Sony, have image stabilization. But there is a point where stabilization and shaky become two different things.

Try adjusting the diopter adjustment on the viewfinder- likely was off. Should view and record in focus.

Based onu limited use, wind and brush may not be an issue. In experimental trials where I was the moving object approaching the camera from various angles, I could not get the camera to take pictures on a consistent basis. It failed to take my picture at a high rate. I doubt if moving brush will trigger it at a higher rate,

check your lens for fingerprints. Got a bunch of pix one time blurry because of that.

Can someone help me to reduce the delay or shutter lag between when I press the button and when the picture actually takes? I have a one and a two year old and they only smile at me for a second and I can't seem to snap in time. Thanks

I thought I had that problem...but, I really didn't. Sometimes when I aim at camera at a scene I want to photograph, that scene is blurry. However, it does not last. I lightly click the button that takes the picture, without pushing it down hard enough to take that picture. Every time, so far, the image rights itself and is no longer blurry, but sharp. I believe every time I have had the blurry image appear, it has been in daylight and on auto setting.

I know this is an old thread, but I suspect your problem has to do with shutter speed. Unless the camera is mounted on a tripod and the subject of the photo is stationary, you are susceptible to motion blur. You need to remember that the amount of light needed to capture an image with your camera is greater than what your eyes need to see. Set your camera to its highest ISO setting and then put your camera in Tv (time value; also referred to as shutter priority) exposure mode. Set the shutter speed to 1/125 or faster and take a few shots - your camera will set the correct aperture. Depending on lighting conditions, the camera may over or underexpose the photos. Look at the aperture selected by the camera and use it as a starting place to set the aperture manually. With a little trial and error you will eventually get the exposures you are after.

Yes you can if it's on video mode you just simply press the photo button on top though be sure to focus it so it isn't blurry. If you want advance options switch to photo mode and simply read the instructions from that point :)

Yes, I hate this feature. We just got this camera for xmas and I am really disappointed. I cant get the pictures of the chilren's faces before they move. I like to sit with my camera focused on the boys when they play or are doing something to get them making cute faces. My the time I push the button, delay and then actually get the picture, they have moved. I am seriously considering sending this camera back. Any ideas. The sports setting doesnt help here.

First, I'm in the market to buy this camera, I don't own one. I'm not trying to complain about the posts so far, but I'm wondering if you are simply using the auto mode when indoors, or have you tried other modes (Indoor Mode), ISO speeds, etc that the camera comes equipped with? If the images are "VERY POOR", what exactly have you tested? (Others report indoor images have been good).

I just tried it out. The camera will take rapid photos of a moving object by just the touch of a button or two.

We have had many dissapointing 'fuzzy' pics as well. Especially indoors with the flash. Please see my review here (if they print it)! Essentially, our old 2 megapixel 'FujiFilm' cam puts the Olympus pics to shame. Maybe we got a defective unit?

My sincere advice.. Dont buy this camera. It gives blurry pictures and the problem is with the sensors and the software. The software scans for the most appropriate focal length thru a range of distances, when the shutter is half pressed and choses the optimum distance for the user to click to get a sharp picture. Some how the software does not stop the lens at the correct focal distance and hence the blurry pictures. This happens especially at close ups and low light. Nikon does not want to fix this bug.

there is about a 1 second delay with taking pictures; at least, it is when i'm trying to take a picture of my dog. there is a mode to place the camera in for pets; i tried it once. i do believe there was still a delay but the picture wasn't blurry. hope this helps.
