Camera Blur (rrrr)

[Azzura]

Sorry I can't remember the model number. It would have been about 6 yrs ago it died and I had it for about 5 yrs before. So it would have been pretty old.

A couple of things that can cause blrr is (if the camera isn't defective) ..not pressing the button down half way and allow the camera to get in focus.

Low light conditions ...any picture situation requiring about 1/30 (1/20...1/10..1 second etc etc) of a second or more to capture the shot...if hand held will most likely come out blurred. unless your using a tripod or have braced yourself up against something.

Shutter speed is not fast enough to capture a subject that is moving...kinda falls into low light. Unless you want that blur effect...like tires moving or props on a plane or w/e else you can think of.

Even when using a tripod in low light situations (around 1/30)...use the timer feature to take the shot. As someone mentioned ...just pushing the button can cause blur.

One way you can increase shutter speed is to increase the ISO speed....but be aware if you increase the ISO too much....you will get noise/grainy junk in your picture. Setting to ISO 400 should be ok... perhaps even 800, you may even get away with 1200.

Adjusting the Aperture to a lower number (if possible) like 5.6 or 4.x or 2.8. The lower the number the more light that is allowed in. Chances are a basic camera will be around 5.6 or 4.x...I don't remember ever seeing a 2.8 on a ps camera (I could be wrong though).
 
This will give you a little more ...err less time required to capture the picture.

I am not sure how far PS cameras or other brands have come in the low light areas. I am more familiar with the Nikon and Canon DSLR bodies.
