Shoots are blur when taking - Canon PowerShot A470 Digital Camera

When shooting pictures, always check the length of the lens. Take the length in mm to decide how fast your shutter speed should be. When shooting 200 mm, the shutter speed should be at least 1/200 of a second. For a 400 mm it should be 1/400 of a second, and so on. With indoors sport, you need a lens with a huge aperture like 2,8 or better and a high ISO setting, to reach the speed needed for a long lens.
Modern lenses can have vibration reduction, and with these sometimes you can shoot 3 to 4 full stops sower.
A 200 mm lens with vibration reduction can be used then at 1/25 or even 1/15 of a second and still don't need to worry about motion blur.

You must take pictures gently. Blur picture may occur if you move during capturing a picture. Or your hand move too fast after taking a picture. Try to stay still for two or three second after push the capture button.
Blur picture when shooting outdoor can be caused by too much light. Don't forget to set your camera in outdoor or panorama mode, and turn of the flash light if you think its too bright.

Hope this help and RATE please !

if you are shooting in manual mode or with aperture or shutter priority, be sure your shutter speed is fast enough to avoid blur. hand-held shots are typically safe at 1/250 or faster.

Batteries don't play a role in it. Maybe it has slow focus. Try to push the shooting button to only half of its full push, wait a while until it focuses an then shoot by full press on the shoot button. You can also check if you have not switched on macro settings (flower in frame). If you do, turn it off.

There can be several reasons for blurred pictures.
Are you taking the picture in enough light? Is auto focus turned on? If not, are you focusing correctly? What sort of camera are you shooting with?

Not sure which camera you are using, but you'll need to be shooting at 1/250 of a second or faster to freeze action like basketball
