Pictures Are Blurry
It seems most of the pictures that I take are just blurry, and
sometimes I just want to purchase a disposable camera again. |

Last time I checked those were still available at the checkout lines at the grocery stores. jue |

I figured out that she just not realize how the digital camera works. Unlike a film camera which generally snaps the photo instantly when you push the button, a digital camera takes a couple of seconds to focus and adjust for exposure before the shutter actually releases. You may be pushing the button and then not holding it steady or even moving the camera away before the pic is taken. Most digital cams have a two step shutter button. - Push halfway to focus and set exposure (Usually there is a visual or audio clue that tells you when it's ready) - Push the button the rest of the way to take the picture. Try this! |

I didn't even think of the shutter lag in compact digitals as possibly being a factor. But you are absolutely right. jue |

Try this! My wife is an intelligent woman but put a camera in her hands and her IQ drops to 15 or so. We were in Africa and parted company for a while. When we were together again I asked her if she took any photos. The reply was in the affirmative. Turns out she FOCUSED the camera about twenty times and took nary one photo. |

My wife has never understood that only what is visible in the viewfinder is what is likely to appear on taken picture. Look through our photos, and the ones of headless subjects are hers. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

If you carefully follow these instructions at least seventy percent of your images will not be blurry. Later I will tell you how to obtain sharp images of moving subjects. sometimes I just want to purchase a disposable camera again. It will be perfectly OK if you buy a disposable camera. |
