Why images are blurred? Any setting which needs to done?

Hi, Suzanne, with regard to the washed out photos when took with flash, check the ISO level (sensor sensivity to light), perhaps ISO is set too high (400-800-1600)? Set ISO to 160 or 200. I suggest you to exercise a lot changing the camera controls and you'll learn the differences and how to manage it. With flash off, check to set Vibration reduction in OFF when using tripod, and reversely, set it in ON when using handheld. Also try to take lot of pictures in Auto, Scene Mode, Night Landscape, Night Portrait, etc. and see what suits better. Print the PDF manual (220 pages) and read it carefully and check controls and take pictures as you read it. Remember that you get a red box in the screen when the camera cannot focus. So move the camera back or front, and focus again. I bought this camera on July 2011 and it has a personality specially when focusing but I've got beautiful pictures. And I love the zoom, panorama mode and the capacity of taking pictures in low light . Hope this helps you!!

Not the flash per say, but pictures came out blurry when there was low light conditions.

I did not find that there was blurry edges. I found that if you get a ring around your picture if you are trying to take it full frame.

because of low light situations, the camera has to use a longer shutter (meaning the lens is open longer for light to hit the sensor) time is suspended which causes the blurriness. Other factors might be camera shake from how u are holding it. Another might be due to the lens itself if u dropped it or some other defect. I recommend to try it with flash and see if it is still blurry.

LadyR,Try several DVD's. It may be that the discs you're playing are the problem. It seems to me that if there's not enough info on the disc, when it upgrades the picture it fills in the blanks with "noise", which makes the pic look grainy. Just a hunch, but most of my discs look great with no adjustment now.

You either have something on the lens or you have it in Manual Focus mode. Kodak does not sell cameras that are constantly blurry.

Did you ever resolve the problem? I'm having the same problem. I can't get a quality picture something standing perfectly still - like my christmas tree! My ISO is set to 100.

I've noticed this as well. I wonder if it has something to do with the image stabilizer?

Yes, I noticed the same thing, you may want to change the ISO speed depending on what your shooting. Remember when using film in the old days, you would purchase 100, 200, 400, etc. The choice was depending on the numbers of what makes your photos grainy/smooth. Try the ISO change and see if that makes a difference. This camera doesn't work well if your image moves. Works well if your image is still. Also you could change the pixel size of the image to a smaller one, this might help also. Good luck!

i used mine this past weekend in a low light indoor situation, I wasn't happy at all with the results. I find this camera very hard to get crisp clear pictures. Not happy with my purchase, its very sensitive to blurring.

Try setting the camera to Shutter Priority and setting the shutter speed to 1/30 or faster. If the images are too dark set the ISO to a faster setting.

No and the camera often has trouble focusing. So lots of your photos will be blurry

Try using natural light as much as possible. Flash lighting will always give a less natural effect. If you must use the flash, try turning on most of the lights in the room to help fill in the shadows. Also, extreme close-ups will not focus properly and will produce a blurred effect. Make sure you're at least three feet from the subject and that the auto-focus has had time to function. Good luck and Merry Christmas!

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?

Hi, just played with the menue and found two aspects which improved the clarity of my D7000 jpegs;A) Menue/Shooting Menue/Jpeg-compression ( i expect you already choose fine for jepgs )the compression defaults to 'Size Priority' which means smaller files but a loss in detail !!-> pls set to 'Optimal Quality'B) Menue/Shooting Menue/Set Picture Controlthis defaults to SD which means very conservative to color, contrast and sharpeningB1) set this to vivid (VI)B2) in vivid increase sharpening to 7 or 8Both modifications should result in higher jpeg output qualitypls give feedback/Karl Hi, just played with the menue and found two aspects which improved the clarity of my D7000 jpegs;A) Menue/Shooting Menue/Jpeg-compression ( i expect you already choose fine for jepgs )the compression defaults to 'Size Priority' which means smaller files but a loss in detail !!-> pls set to 'Optimal Quality'B) Menue/Shooting Menue/Set Picture Controlthis defaults to SD which means very conservative to color, contrast and sharpeningB1) set this to vivid (VI)B2) in vivid increase sharpening to 7 or 8Both modifications should... » Read More Hi, just played with the menue and found two aspects which improved the clarity of my D7000 jpegs;A) Menue/Shooting Menue/Jpeg-compression ( i expect you already choose fine for jepgs )the compression defaults to 'Size Priority' which means smaller files but a loss in detail !!-> pls set to 'Optimal Quality'B) Menue/Shooting Menue/Set Picture Controlthis defaults to SD which means very conservative to color, contrast and sharpeningB1) set this to vivid (VI)B2) in vivid increase sharpening to 7 or 8Both modifications should result in higher jpeg output qualitypls give feedback/Karl « Show Less

I think you are right here. I don't believe it is a lens problem as I have see this problem across a couple of lens. I did two things that seem to make a different, the first was I completely reset all the camera setting and second thing I did was up grade the camera fireware from version 1.0. 4. to version 1.0. 9. This seems to have made a difference.

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.
