Why are my pictures so fuzzy sometimes


Sometimes I take pictures and the person is all fuzzy looking.I think this has to do with shutter speed .I notice that the little hand with a ! is next to it,I'm being very carefull not to move camera.I have a Fuji FinePix 3800.

  James,
The hand with a "!" next to it is the camera shake warning. Even though you are being careful, there is a limit to how steady you can hand hold a camera and therefore a limit to how slow the shutter speed can be. The basic problem is too low a lighting level. The solution is turning up the ambient lighting (if you can and it's acceptable), using a tripod if that is feasible, a faster shutter speed if that's possible, or a flash if that is feasible and acceptable (for some types of photos it's not necessarily desirable).
