Just received camera and screen is blurry and out of focus. Help!
First-things first,
Check to make sure the lens is free of grit! When the lens becomes dirty, the image on your screen will be blusry and out of focus.

Make sure you are not trying to take pictures through glass windows as they may affect the auto focus. Good Luck!

There are a number of tips on how to make the camera focus better:

Input 'focus' in the search term to get it.
It seems like you can change the shutter speed to a faster speed to focus better. Or, you can change it to manual focus. I think.
This should be int he manual.

Hello
The problem is that the lens has become stuck in the barrel. There are some DIY solutions you could try, but the
probability is that you will have to get it fixed by a professional.
Use
these at own risk as it may further damage the camera.
Firstly ,
try connecting your ac adapter or usb cable.
Try holding the
shutter button while switching on the camera.
Look at the lens ,
and if some of the lens 'circles' is misaligned or not concentric then
try wiggling it (while holding camera lens down).
Try gently
pushing or pulling the lens when it extends but this is risky as it may
cause the lens barrel to slip out of its guidance system.
Another
way to do this is to place the camera lens down on a hard surface and
then power it up. Be sure to use a soft cloth or something similar as to
not scratch your lens or casing. Let the lens push the camera up and
down a few times and sometimes the little resistance provided by the
camera is enough to get things going again.
Try hitting your
camera near the lens on the body with the soft tissue on the palm of
your hand.
Other than that , I would take the camera to a repair
center for a evaluation to see if it would cost more to repair than to
replace the camera.
If it is still under warranty I would suggest
you take it in before trying any of these steps and remove any
off-brand batteries or accessories as some stores are really fussy about
warranty repairs on camera's with non-brand accessories.

Hope
the advise is useful. please do not hesitate to let me know if you need
any further assistance. Also, please be so kind to let me know if you
found this helpful.

sounds like the camera was dropped, if you look ate the camera from the sides, and the lens don't look square to the camera body, grab the lens and force it into alignment, you might hear a little POP, and thats sometimes good..BUT call your local camera shop and ask what the average cost to repair ? and always check your camera for recalls !
