Hi,
Your pictures are blurry because the camera did not focus properly on the subject.
First, turn on the camera in any picture taking mode (or video mode), then look at the screen or viewfinder. There should be four white corners in the center of the camera display. This is your targeting area.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Aim the camera at your subject so this center area is directly on it.
2. Press the shutter button lightly, not all the way down. Wait for a second or two WITHOUT RELEASING YOUR FINGER. If the white corners turn green, keep the finger on the button and press it all the way.
(Once the screen flashes black, a picture is taken and you can release the finger).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the targeting area turns red and blinks, then the camera has not focused. You can to try to focus again by following step 1 and 2. If a picture is taken when the targeting area is red, then the picture will be blurry.
If there is no targeting area, then you can still focus by aiming the camera at your subject. Now follow step 2. A green box will appear on the subject, then a sharp picture can be taken.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The red arrow that flashes means that the pictures or videos are being written onto the memory card.
Also, try to be steady when taking pictures, because slight hand movement can cause blurry images too.
Page 25 in the
DMC-FZ7's english manual will also explain how to focus.
Thank you for your response. Prior to receiving your answer, I contacted Sony and after about 1/2 hour of going through all kinds of attempts to see what the problem was, they advised it was a CCD Imager problem. I am sending it in, and the cost will be $20.00 as you said. There is a lot to be said for a company that recognizes an inherent problem with their design and then stands behind it. If I buy another camera, it will be a Sony.
the same as above,sony outlet shop told me it was the ccd imager problem,not uncomom with digital cameras.
Why do I have yellow lines on my screen after I've taken a pictures straight after?
