Fuzzy pictures i had my pictures put on disc they are all fuzzy is my camera set up wrong

Fuzzy pictures are usually caused by movement--either your subject or the camera. They can also be caused by the auto focus focusing on the wrong thing. If you upload a picture we could tell you which of these things is happening. Include settings which you can find in the exif files by right clicking the file and choosing properties.

The instructions for changing the resolution are on page 30 of the manual.
If the pictures are fuzzy, increasing the resolution won't help. The most likely causes of fuzzy pictures are as follows
1) Focus. Check to make sure the focus is on the subject. If something else in the picture is sharp while others are not, then the camera may have focused on the wrong subject.
2) Subject motion. If moving objects are fuzzier than stationary objects then you need to use a faster shutter speed (or flash).
3) Camera motion. Just because the camera is on a tripod doesn't mean it doesn't move. One philosophy says that if a tripod is light enough to be carried then it's not sturdy enough. For a compact camera like the SD850 that likely isn't the problem. However, you can still shake the camera when you press the shutter release button. Try setting the self-timer. This allows time for the vibrations to die down before snapping the picture.
In your particular case, I think we can assume that the subject isn't moving, so #2 doesn't apply. To assure proper focus, make sure the painting is flat and perpendicular to the lens axis. If the painting is tilted relative to the camera, then different parts of it will be at different distances and the camera won't be able to keep all of it in focus.
Also, make sure the front of the lens is clean.

you defiently have something wrong in the settings so don't worry its not wrecked check your settings check your zoom, and if that doesn't fix it take it to someone that knows alot about cameras so goodluck:) and please rate this solution...

Its known problem of ccd imager in Canon A60 camera and Canon will repair it free of cost.
Click Canon CCD Imager Advisory for details.

check to see if a flower appears on the screen. If it does then the camera is set to macro and all your pictures except close up will be fuzzy. To switch macro off, move the ring on the front of the camera till the arrow is pointed straight down. I was having the same problem. Wasted a whole day of vacation pictures. That was what fixed my problem and I hope it fixes yours too,

Did you change any settings ie. exposure value, shutter speed? Those could cause blurry pictures if you do not have the camera on a tripod.

Hey mea411,
What you should do is have the camera looked at by an authorized service technician. There is most likely something wrong with the LCD screen itself. I hope this helps!

Sincerely,

As basic as it sounds, is the lens dirty? The tiny surfaces of digital cameras' lenses really affect image quality. Also check the image quality setting to ensure you're shooting at a high quality setting.

Go back to film. Digital SUCKS.
