This is a symptom commonly listed for DiMAGE cameras listed on EBay for 'parts only'. Dropping the camera I had caused the same problem and carefully 'smacking' the camera once again did solve the problem but that may have been dumb luck. Sorry but it is a service task that may cost more than the camera.

I don't think there's any problem. Simply, a longer zoom means that - without a faster shutter speed - there is an increased probability for camera shake. Additionally, cameras usually struggle with focus in longer zoom. To be sure that there isn't a fault, do this:

1) Place the camera on a tripod or other sturdy surface
2) For additional stability (and to avoid camera shake due to shutter button movement), select the self-timer
3) Focus and take the shot.
If it's still blurry, then yeah, there's a problem

The DiMAGE E223 is capable of focusing on subjects within the range of approximately 60cm to infinity at both wide-angle and telephoto.

The focusing range for the E201 is approximately 0.6m to infinity, and 0.3m to 0.6m in Macro mode.

The DiMAGE Z3 sensitivity can be set to Auto, ISO 50, 100, 200, and 400. When Auto is selected, one control in the range of ISO 50-200 is assigned accordingly

The following three settings are selectable during the movie recording: Continuous AF: The single-shot AF is operated in advance of recording, and AF is always operated during recording. Single AF: The single-shot AF is operated in advance of recording, and the focus position is fixed during recording.*This mode is useful for shooting a low contrast and hard-to-be-focused subject, such as fireworks. Manual: The focus point is to be set manually in advance of recording, and its position is fixed during recording.*Manual focus is useful when it is difficult to focus automatically.

Macro: Wideangle: 0.1m to 1.0m (from lens front) / Telephoto: 1.2m to 2.5m (from lens front) Wideangle: 0.185m to 1.085m (from CCD) / Telephoto: 1.285m to 2.585m (from CCD) Super Macro: 3cm to 100cm (from lens front), 9.5cm to 109.5cm (from CCD), focal length: 10.45 mm (equivalent to 63mm in 35mm format)

Yes, it is. Please note the following: *1: It is not recommended to use the built-in flash in the macro mode because vignetting appears. *2: When the focusing range (from the front of filter to the subject) is within 36cm, vignetting appears. Test recording is recommended.
