Why do the pics looks fuzzy? Does anyone know how to remedy this?

If you are in continuous focus mode, try changing to single shot focus - check your manual. Continous focus will let you take a picture even if the camera has not had time to properly focus. Single shot focus will only take a pic if it is in focus. Make sure the O.I.S. is in "mode 2." Set the focus mode to center only. It could be that another sensor is doing the focusing and it is not in the center. Press the shutter slowly - don't jab at it. Check that you are not in "macro" mode and trying to do a really close focus on something with the zoom all the way extended. Wait for the center "square" to turn green before pressing the shutter button all the way down. Maybe try a tripod or lean against something as a brace. Change to a higher ISO if the subject is likely to move or is moving - or - use the "intelligent ISO" mode. Try "sports" mode for a somewhat faster shutter spead. If none of these things works individually or in combination, you may have a defective camera - call a Panasonic repair facility. Good luck.

Assuming the image is not too large (4000x4000 pixel limit on card, 300kb limit for storing on device) then it's probably not baseline jpeg. I opened mine in MS paint and just hit save, fixed problem.

there is a lag. I really notice it when trying to good pics of little kids because they move so quickly..that delay often makes me miss the smile!....also not a long battery life....but good pictures

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!

I get yellow stripes in my photos. I do not know if I am using it incorrectly but I have yet to get a clear picture. I have used it for a while now and if I had to buy it again I probably would not.

I've read a lot about the sometimes soft, not crisp pictures. Where can you post the pics? Thanks.

You could probably change the ISO/shutter/aperture settings to compensate for low lighting, but I usually set it to Auto mode, and I feel it's not bad. I can still see relatively well although it's rather noisy/fuzzy (it hardly bothers me, but I usually try to avoid low lighting anyways).

Nope, mine actually look fine. You might not be waiting enough before you press the button down all the way. You're supposed to push the button down halfway, wait until the little square turns green and then press the button down all the way. One of the things that I actually really like about this camera is that I can take pictures even when moving and they don't turn out blurry. You just have to wait for that little green square.

I had a problem with blurry images, too, so finally checked the owners manual (duh!) It mentions that if you press the shutter too hard, you actually cause the blurriness. I have lightened up my touch, and things have improved. I still love this camera.

No light. In low light settings the lack of a flash/light source the still photos are grainy.

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.

This don't make the screen fuzzy or anything, i have a nice and crisp screen. Hope it helps :)

Use a higher ISO setting. This camera takes great smooth pics all the way up to ISO 800. If your using it at the lowest setting (ISO 100) and you are indoors and/or outdoors with not enough light your pictures will blur occasionally.

I have the same blurry problem, I think that I got a faulty camera. About 1 in 4 pictures are usable, this camera was a waste of money. Mount Fuji! eat my shorts! My cannon elph sd200 which is 3 years older takes far superior pictures and is 3.2 Mega pixels. Causing me to learn, its not the megapixels that matter.

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 experienced the same problem and cannot print quality pictures, as a result. I am still trying to figure the problem out. I would suggest contacting the makers of the item for assistance. If you find out before I do please let me know. Thank you!
