Hi wynney666 and rosered,
Thanks for the advice. No joy yet though! As I type, just tried taking a couple of pics of my keyboard. Press button half way, ** beep **, looks focussed, cool, then fully bress button, ** click ** (eventually!). Check pic. Blurred! Rubbish! Try again, exactly the same result.
Change to mode 'touch capture', slightly better, and I even got one non-blurred pic out of 3!! But surely this is still wrong! Why is it so much poorer than my 5 year old K800i? Have I got some duff settings? I have: image stabiliser on, 8 MP 4:3, normal scene. Almost never a decent pic
Have now got the free version of Vignette, but not used it yet. Will try in the pub tonight! Hope it is better.
Otherwise, it seems I'm stuck with a camera that can't take a focussed or a low-light pic - and that, whether it be 1 MP or 8 MP, is not a good camera.
