Canon A70 night time shots

Hi all!

It's been awhile since I've posted here. I've been incredibly content with
my A70. I've even taken some shots that others have said "wow" about. Last
Saturday I was at a backyard pig roast, and there was a live band, and I
took some shots, and the band later approached me and asked if I'd be
willing to do some pics for their upcoming CD.

So, I said yes.

And the only question I have now is this:
when I'm in Av, Tv, or full manual, occasionally shots at night are not
sharp. In fact, they're pretty blurry, and it's not because of the tripod.
Is this focus problem normal in the A70, or should I get it looked at?

cheers,
Matt.

Hhmmm.

Haven't set up a web page for this stuff. You'll have to give me 12 hours
or so. I'm working until 5 PM EST.

cheers,
Matt.

DO you know what ISO the camera is using - higher ISO speeds make better use
of available light but with a loss of sharpness. Also are you using a slow
shutter speed as this will introduce an element of blur if the subject is
not stationary.
