I got this camera and the pictures are great...as long as the subject of the picture is still. If there is any motion at all it turns out blurry?

Increase the shutter speed by either (or both) using the flash or increasing the ISO. Increasing the ISO, according to David Peterson of DigitalPhotoSecrets means the sensor is more sensitive and so less light is needed to take the image.

If the subject is moving you need to use a faster shutter speed to prevent blurring.

You have to keep it really steady because then it won't focus and the picture becomes blurry...but it could just be I don't know how to adjust the settings properly.. the camera does take really nice pictures.

If you have the shakes, I wouldn't buy it. No, I think you have to steady, but not like a rock. I've not had problems with blurry pictures.

I like this camera, but I haven't been able to get a great motion shot yet. I may be doing something wrong. I am not an expert. The zoom is fantastic.

The camera gives you the option to use a higher ISO setting. Try using a higher ISO for moving subjects. Keep in mind the higher number may result in a grainy picture if the light is too low.

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

I don't use the camera often though it does take decent pictures for a device like this. The picture were not blurry unless I had a shaky hand but they did pixelate when I zoomed and wanted to use the image on my computer.

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 never use it, but from what I remember, people who reviewed this camera said that still photographs were low quality. They suggest using a dedicated camera for stills.

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. There is no adjustment to that camera, it it's completely fixed. If it is blurry, it is likely a bad camera.

Its actually not too bad. I use mine all the time in low light situations, but with any camera the lower the light your filming in it will start to look grainy. This camera comes with a light you can attach, so all you need to do is turn that on.

I find this camera very satisfactory with both subjects. I haven't used it a great deal yet because I haven't been traveling much these past few months, but the friend who owned an identical camera (and the reason I bought mine) got wonderful pictures with hers. Hope this helps!

Yes it does great with pretty much any situation. It's a great camera and has great quality. Only downside is it's not amazing in low light situations so you will need a flash or a very steady hand.

My Pen Name said it exactly.Does your camera have a "high iso" Feature? thats good for low light situations, but you will have to hold the camera very still.

Honestly, I think you would be terribly disappointed. The camera would pop to a very high ISO to handle the low light and the photos would be grainy and have smushy detail.

I've found that the camera takes blurry pictures indoors, when the subjects are more than 6 feet away from the flash, when the handshake mode is on, or in general low light. The blur is not hand motion, it is color dithering from the too-small sensor, too-slow lens, and poor color processing. As for motion blur, even in sunlight I have to hold the camera extra still. I have had better luck with 64 speed slide film and an f4.0 lens.
