Fuji J10 - blurry photos Does anyone have problems with blurry photos with the Fuji Finepix J10? I have tried just about every setting on the camera and unless the subject is perfectly still and I depress the button for a second or two the pictures come out blurry. I have lost many a moment because of this. I just would like to know if it's a problem with my particular camera or the camera itself. Still shots come out beautiful but everything else is worthless.

I have the same blurry problem, I think that I got a faulty camera. About 1 in 4 pictures are usable, this camera was a waste of money. Mount Fuji! eat my shorts! My cannon elph sd200 which is 3 years older takes far superior pictures and is 3.2 Mega pixels. Causing me to learn, its not the megapixels that matter.

I have the same problem. I don't like this camera because of this. I had a Fuji before that worked fine. Fortunately I have a Canon that I bought last year that works. What a let down Fuji. You won't get any more of my money. I actually bought the camera to use for work, taking pictures of computers, etc., but it's almost useless for that even.

because of low light situations, the camera has to use a longer shutter (meaning the lens is open longer for light to hit the sensor) time is suspended which causes the blurriness. Other factors might be camera shake from how u are holding it. Another might be due to the lens itself if u dropped it or some other defect. I recommend to try it with flash and see if it is still blurry.

Hi, Suzanne, with regard to the washed out photos when took with flash, check the ISO level (sensor sensivity to light), perhaps ISO is set too high (400-800-1600)? Set ISO to 160 or 200. I suggest you to exercise a lot changing the camera controls and you'll learn the differences and how to manage it. With flash off, check to set Vibration reduction in OFF when using tripod, and reversely, set it in ON when using handheld. Also try to take lot of pictures in Auto, Scene Mode, Night Landscape, Night Portrait, etc. and see what suits better. Print the PDF manual (220 pages) and read it carefully and check controls and take pictures as you read it. Remember that you get a red box in the screen when the camera cannot focus. So move the camera back or front, and focus again. I bought this camera on July 2011 and it has a personality specially when focusing but I've got beautiful pictures. And I love the zoom, panorama mode and the capacity of taking pictures in low light . Hope this helps you!!

I've no clue, & I know this doesn't have anything to do with it but 1. this isn't a normal Fuji camera made for the normal market; it's a walmart/kmart special, & honesly, my Kodak from about 8 years ago DESTROYS my Fuji in picture quality. There's NO setting on the Fuji that produces a decent quality photo. :( Mine just sits & collects dust...

Hey Julie- I too had this same question so I went out and purchased the Lumix DMC-TZ5. I found the camera to be very good in the zoom department and video was nice as well. The reason I returned this camera was because of the picture quality. Panasonic seems to me, to have yellow pictures. Even though there is IS, I still had many shots that turned out to be blurry. I owned a Pansasonic in the past and had the same issues on that camera. I now own the Olympus Stylus 1010 for about 2 weeks. I had a mid-size camera for years and loved it but wanted a pocket size camera that would do justice. I am very picky and have bought and returned 4 different point and shoot cameras. The Olympus 1010 is the first camera that I have fell in love with. Very fast, very small, and the image quality is awesome! I have a very difficult shooting base but this camera far exceeds any other camera I have purchased or spent many hours playing with. I am so very satisfied with my purchase and Olympus really has come through with this camera. Hope this helps!

I had the same problem and sent in for warrenty work. Its probally not your imagination, mine was defective and they replaced the auto focus sensor. Now its easy to get crisp photos without vivid mode even. Ive had lots of olympus cameras and this was the first problem Ive ever had. they repaired the next day tehy recieved it and sent it back to me a day later. Im very happy with it now. It should be easy to get a crisp photo with this camera. Hope this helps.

I have never had a single problem with this camera. As of today, I have taken more than 2000 pictures and really enjoy using it. My primary camera used to be a Canon 7D (a truly great camera!) but I now find myself using the X100 most of the time.

I've never had that problem although I do know that you really need to hold the button down until you hear the shutter click almost an old-fashioned film camera or the picture won't take. Hope you find a solution to your problem!

I'd be curious to know as well. The 720SW had a fairly slow shutter, and one had to really concentrate to get a non-blurry photo. Unless, you enabled the stabilization, and then the photo got a little grainy... Anybody have feedback on that?

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.

Yes. I have used this camera and the model just older than this one for 2+ years now and I have not had much issue with blurry photos. It is not perfect, in that if you are spinning a round or are sprinting down the track it will be Blurry. But over all it works quite well! :) hop this helps.

Hey everyone, I just found a review of a pre-production model of the HS10. It is on Photgraphy Bab web-site. Here's a link to the review!http://www.photographybay.com/2010/02/25/fuji-hs10-hands-on-review/?awt_l=GAUdB&aw;t_m=1eZxHEDHEf62xuIt does give more insight into the camera and a few negatives but the reviewer sure sounded excited by this camera.

I've been flipping back and forth between the SD800 and the A710. And, your pics are now making me lean towards the A710. Two must-haves for my first digital camera are a view finder and image stabilization. Just one question for you, cjw333. I noticed that a couple of your motion shots were blurry. Was the stabilizer on? Thanks for sharing your photos. They're awesome.

have you check the ISO youre using? I had the same problem when i had my setting at the highest ISO. I now just leave it as AUTO and have great pics. If thats not the problem, then i dunno what is. Sorry!

I get yellow stripes in my photos. I do not know if I am using it incorrectly but I have yet to get a clear picture. I have used it for a while now and if I had to buy it again I probably would not.

Can someone help me to reduce the delay or shutter lag between when I press the button and when the picture actually takes? I have a one and a two year old and they only smile at me for a second and I can't seem to snap in time. Thanks

It would really help if people learned a little about photography. You have stepped up from a pocket point and shoot to a camera with many more features. The problem with the blurry shots is normally lighting. If the lighting is bad the camera has to increase the shutter speed so the picture will properly expose. When the shutter speed increases you can get image blur if the subject is moving. Photography is a world of give and take....you can not simply press the shutter button and get the perfect picture no matter what the conditions are.

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
