blurry pictures: Any advice?
1089978
Hi! When your son's waving hand is a blur, it's because your shutter speed is too slow. The hand has time to move while the picture is being shot. The graininess is the result of your camera compensating for the faster shutter speed by increasing its sensitivity. The solution is to add more light to the scene or try a different ISO setting. On most digital cameras, that's in the setup menu somewhere (I'm not familiar with this one in particular).

I bought the Canon A1400 for my grandson. He loves to take pictures with it and we have not noticed any problem with blurry pictures. Occasionallythe videos are blurry but I think that because he swings the camera back and forth too fast.

Wide angle attachments will distort photos anyway. I'd suggest using the panorama feature (definitely use a tripod!)

On the underside of the camera there are 2 screw adjustment slots (one for focus, one for zoom); please make sure your camera is in focus by adjusting both slots. If you still get blurriness problem, please use the button control on the camera to adjust the camera's color contrast and backlight setting (press on the button to bring out OSD menu, and then move up&down for choosing between menus, left&right for adjusting menus)

Okay M.I got my camera last night. I took a couple of pictures on my in to work this morning. I am going to post them after I make this post. I don't know what people are complaining about when they complain that the pictures are blurry. The pictures I took were extremely sharp. For the sample picture go the listed item. I will post more pictures by Sunday. Feel free to email me if you have any questions (superat06@gmail.com)Sean

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.

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 :)

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.

What is your usual ISO setting? If you are not already, try shooting in ISO 80 or 100 and don't increase it unless when you hold the shutter button half way down to focus the view goes dark. Re focus, unless it is necessary to shoot immediately, hold the shutter button half way down and don't depress it further until you can see, either through viewfinder or on screen, that the scene is in focus. Other suggestions already given are to shut off digital zoom and leave it off, use compression setting L instead of M3 to greatly reduce the number of pixels lost, thus the quality of the picture.

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.

You can set the ISO to a high setting and get fast shutter speeds. That will make the pictures sharp.The action setting should do this automatically.

Our camera has a same issue. It was bought 3 years back. The problem started when any picture with Zoom came out blurred. Now, all pictures are blurred.

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