How come my pictures are coming out blurry? I'm keeping them completely covered while they're developing. Is it a problem with the film or my camera?

Perhaps you got some bad film, mine worked fine. I would suggest trying another film & if it happens again it may be your camera

Most likely the camera, or you moving the camera while you push the trigger button. The film will record what ever it is shown, if it is blurry it is shown a blurry image. Check the camera, make sure the lens is clean, take pictures in bright light, or turn on extra room lights. Hold camera firmly and squeeze button slowly - dont punch the button.

We have had the same problem , my son was interested in the instant camera so we have bought 2 different cameras on line and have bought film at the camera store as well as Amazon, it's still the same. Maybe the cameras are too old or the film is just not manufactured right.

My pictures turned out clear when I used this film. So my only answer is it's probably your camera. If not, I don't know.

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!

Thank you very much for your thorough explanation of this issue. I've been struggling with it since purchasing the camera and had been thinking of returning it. I will follow your recommendations re: purchasing the filter & adapter.

i too had problems with blurring and out of focus shots, ive used the camera a lot recently, and was getting annoyed that close up shots were rubbish, until a friend said try turning off the image stabilizer, i did, close up pics look much sharper, i only use the stabilzer now for long zoom shots, isnt that what its suppose to be for anyway, maybe it aint suppose to be on all the time

That would be a function of the camera, not the film. While there may be some model camera that does this, mine does not.

I have the exact same problem!!! I've had my camera for over a year now, and haven't found an answer. I bought a pack of film off Amazon and it was crap. I'm not very happy with my camera and I can't figure out how to make them not turn out blue! I've reset the camera, tried different film packs, and nothing!

I'm thinking it might be related to the dark corner issue. I noticed more than one reviewer complained about this and there are photos posted up in the customer photo section illustrating this issue. I was going to purchase this camera myself until I saw this potential problem. For example:http://www.amazon.com/review/R1HXQU9INW3I2T/ref=cm_aya_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B005TGKX9S#wasThisHelpful

Thank you very much for your response. I was beginning to think I was the only one with this problem. Your explanation is probably correct. I have had two other digital cameras and neither had this problem. I doubt if much can be done about it...

Thanks to the comments here I now know why I was getting blurry photos. My lens gives unacceptable results in portrait mode, but does very well in landscape mode. Therefore it's leaving my collection and getting replaced with a 70-200mm f/4.

I have the same camera. It's perfectly normal. It's just the camera focusing.

Sorry, wish I could help you, I'm kinda a novice about picture taking myself. I suspect it is a lighting problem concerning shutter speed or an exposure problem. You should have it checked by a friend with good camera expertise.

The most common cause of blurry pictures is movement of the camera while the picture is being taken. There are two ways to avoid this. The first is to make sure that your arms are not resting against your body. Your breathing can rock the camera. Hold your arms away from your body. The second is to make sure you press gently on the shutter button. Too much force can also cause the camera to be moved while taking the picture.

What else did you try that helped? When I use any amount of telephoto indoors the result is blurry unless I use a flash.

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!!

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.

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

I can tell about my experience. The noted the problem on mine too. It gives a glossy aspect to the picture. I got in contact with photodiox and they sent me a new one straight away. The second one seems to work way better, although it still happen once in a while. Since for me its just a hobby, its not a big deal but it may be a problem if you need it to work. By the way, im very pleased with the product and i believe its the only option to use the Konica AR lenses with Canon EOS.
