Make sure you dont have this camera set to automatic ISO, set it on 100 or 200 ISO(cant use 100 ISO in simple mode) if you have to...any ISO above 100 actualy will KILL your sharp picture in a heart beat...the other problem is, the apture and shutter speed has to make up for what LOW ISO is missing, (you need slower Shutter and larger apture size) will have to make up for the ISO sensitivity and youll get more blur, a tripod helps, even a mono pod to steady the camera a bit...no matter how good your shake control is, it wont be perfect by a mile... I checked the Kodak and found a few quality control problems on the internet reviews, not on this camera have i found any issues with quality...

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).

Hi: Nope, I haven't had any blurred images using the zoom feature. I don't have a clue for a remedy.. But you can adjust the ASA (like film speed) like to 1600, 3200, etc. making it faster & less need to use a flash in dark places & for Fast Action Pics. Otherwise I can't answer your issue. Good Luck. Rosie in Portland.

Most likely the camera, or you moving the camera while you push the trigger button. The film will record what ever it is shown, if it is blurry it is shown a blurry image. Check the camera, make sure the lens is clean, take pictures in bright light, or turn on extra room lights. Hold camera firmly and squeeze button slowly - dont punch the button.

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!

Let me guess, your images are not sharp. This lens will fit on your camera, and images should be sharp from F2.8 and up. If they are not. You have focusing problems with your camera body.

I've found many of my photos are blurry with this camera. The last one i had, a Panasonic, did not do this. I also had to send this camera in for repairs and I've only had it for 6 months. So unfortunately i can't recommend this camera.

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.

Another thing occurred to me about what might be causing your blurry, fuzzy pictures. Make sure that you are at least about 7 feet from what you are trying to focus on at the long end, and about 3 1/2 feet from your subject at the short end in "normal" mode. If you are closer than that the camera won't achieve focus. If you change to "macro" mode you can get focus as close as about 2 inches at the short (28mm) end, and as close as about 3 1/2 feet at the long (280mm) end.

I am also VERY frustrated with this. Many of my pictures are coming out blurry despite holding the button half way down to focus before firing. The manual is mute on the subject. I just called Canon and they were basically no help---just said to make sure the flash was up when firing inside. I have the SD card in that it came with. Any other ideas??Thanks!!!!!!

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.

Your shutter speed is probably not correct. If you call the company, they will advise you as to correct settings. They are very helpful.

Unfortunately, its much harder to get good background blurring with a small sensor like this one. For that, you want larger sensor and a wide aperture (f/2.8 or less). You might want to try out a dSLR with something like a 50mm f1.8 lens at your local camera shop.

Check out the review comment posted at the product site on Amazon - one chap has addressed the blur issue specifically. Here's the link to the review http://www.amazon.com/review/R3PJS6SOXSDS0E/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

There is lag time..also after taking the picture you should not move the camera quickly..image will blur..

The image should not be blurry. Have you checked to make sure there is nothing on the viewfinder area...there is a red dial that can change the focus but i wouldn't think it would be blurry even if that was off slightly.
