Is there a focus setting on this camera. I have 12 of them (though they keep dying on me), half of them have great pic quality.

yes there is a set screw inside the dome with small Phillips screw driver. Loosen and turn lens to focus.

Just open the transparent done cover and gently turn the black lens hood. One of my cameras was fixed did way. However don't force it if it does turn freely as you may damage the camera. Loosen the small screw first. Good luck

I believe it is a manual adjustment of the lens by turning the black cup of the lens holder.

Many other reviewers and discussion forums talk abt the same subject too (blurry images). Are you using the auto mode? Many have suggested that the auto mode is not the best mode to take the fotos in... Did u try taking the foto in different modes. Not sure if you have done that already, but just in case....

Good question! Go into the settings and adjust the flash to Auto, check other settings and adjust accordingly this may be a try and adjust type mine came out of the box shooting good pictures of good quality

Sorry man I have not used it yet. On my others camera it is a setting I can change. I'll look at the camera when I get home and see if I can help out. I have been out of town. I'll get back this weekend

There was an update released a while back for the focusing problem. It has been resolved. BTW: Get the MKIII's full frame.

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.

seems to be an epidemic. same problem no autofocus. if I use the zoom to get in focus then pics come out ok but not good.

I actually am going to try and return the Nikon CoolPix I recently purchased. The auto focus is not working correctly and the zoom takes too long to focus to take good action pictures. Once focused, it goes blurry when you snap the picture. May be only my camera, but I was unable to take ANY pictures of my daughter when she rode in an evening parade recently. I suspect it has a defective auto focus since no one else can get it to work either. You might want to go to a local camera store and try one out before purchasing. The camera is nice sized and has a great zoom ability which is why I bought it to use at my daughter's horse shows. I actually am going to try and return the Nikon CoolPix I recently purchased.

I have not had exposure issues but I have had focus issues. Not really issues, as much as just not being happy with the focal range at all, or the autofocus system. If you are shooting auto I can see you having problems as the auto systems just do not seem to be up to par compared to other platforms

With mine I have to be ridiculously close to the subject, like maybe an inch away. Try putting your lens closer and closer to what you're photographing until it is in focus before trying auto focus.

My Daughter has this Camera and now her auto focus isn't working on it, so she has to manually focus it. I'm wondering if it is the lens or is it the body of the camera. She only has one lens so she hasn't been able to trouble shoot the problem and since she's away at college I'm unable to do anything about it at the moment. Anyone have any ideas?Thanks

I actually returned the camera. My pictures were out of focus. I tried several settings and different lighting and it was inconsistent. I didn't have that problem with the other point and shoots I've owned. I only uploaded a photo to Facebook once and it wasn't difficult. You connect with wifi.

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 got like 20 of them . no way to focus on the cam itself. if you got Samsung dvr system they should be crisp and clear.many people including me at times forget to remove the clear sticker on the new camera lens. if yours is removed you probably got a bad cam.

There is a lag between photos. Depends on how strong your batteries are at the time you are taking multiple pictures. Hope this helps.

yeah, it's not a great camera to begin with and it's probably breathed it's last breath. My camera has always been blurry and I've been disappointed with it. It's dead

WOW - I have struggled with this and I believe I found at least a temporary answer. I changed the EXR mode from AUTO to D-Range priority. It now focuses as I would expect and hunting is at a minimum. Even in taking photos. I suspect somehow the AUTO mode is overloading the system logic. I would love to hear if this helps others.
