Good allpurpose settings


I use a Fuji s5000. Problem: Blurry pics with flash enabled Ive only had decent results on 800 but this defaults me down to 1M so if I enlarge there ios alot of deteriation. Are there any default settings that will give me sharper images at higher pxl settings?

  Hello Lorin. I've been using the Fuji S5000 for three months now and have not experienced that problem. I shoot at high resolution with a 256 meg card.
the term "blurry" leads me to believe that perhaps the use of a tripod may be the answer. If this is happening always,and you have a tripod, then perhaps you may want to have the camera checked by the outlet you purchased it from.
I shoot in auto mostly but during my course have used all the available settings including white balance and flash +, -. I have never experienced this problem with my unit.

  I use the S5000 also and have not come across many blurry images, one thing i'd check is the way you use the autofocus, I find that this camera takes sometimes a couple of seconds to lock focus on the subject. I also recommend a tripod for pictures with a shutter speed of less than 1/100 sec so not to get blurry shots due to longer exposures. I also recommend using the Scene Position modes over the auto mode because they tend to get better more accurate results.

  Also, my shots got substantially less blurry when I stopped trying to use the LCD viewer to compose pics and switched to the eye piece viewer. It really helped stabalize my handheld shots and I strongly recommend that if you aren't already. Are you shooting mainly indoors or at night? If so--don't. It's a lot easier to get good pictures in good light when your ISO is limited.

  I also have the S5000 and love it! Don't ever shoot at 1M (800) unless you absolutely have to. Shoot at 3 all the time. Tripod will definitely help. Also depends on what you are shooting.
Don't forget if you are close (I think less than 3 feet - check the manual) you should use macro mode. If you don't things will definitely be blurry.
Don't forget to press the shutter half way - wait for it to focus and then press it the rest of the way.
The program modes are great, but I also use auto ofen.
It's a great little camera! Try some more and let us know how it goes!
