Blurred images Used my camera a week ago and images were great, as always. I picked it up this week and the image in the viewvinder is blurred. When you take a picture, it is completely distorted and the colors are off. The screen itself is fine because when you review previously taken images they are sharp and clear. Is this fixable?

Appears that the auto focus mechanism is not working, This anomaly is most obvious in lower light situations when focusing is much more critical.

If the camera was new and two months old I would either return it for another one or have Nikon repair the lens assembly under the terms of its warranty.

Blur images can caused dirty lenses please clean the lenses if the problem persist then take to any service center and do cleaning of the internal parts as sometimes due to moisture this type of problems are created.

this s bcoz of the image setting...bcoz there s two options one s landscape and portait..if u select landscape more memory will be used and the image clarity will be very gud...and if u choose the other the image clarity will be little bit low...so u jus check the image settings...if each photo holds a memory of 2mb...then the photos clarity will be very gud...if the image memory s of few kbs then the image clarity will be less!!!!

A friend managed to find a very easy solution to this problem...the lens was dirty due to a 6 year olds sticky fingers...so I just needed to clean it.

Try cleaning your sensor manualy.

hi there
It is a regular problem with cameras that have a lot of zoom; optical or digital. a very little shaking of hands can really blur the image.
Image stabilization actually supposed to help. But if you are Ok with it off, that's great.
i would recommend resting your elbow on something solid (like someone's shoulder or a wall or anything like that.
One more thing - try inhaling and holding your breath at the moment you press the shutter release.
The best solution would be to buy a Tripod; even better would be to buy one which has a remote wired control.
take care and enjoy blur free images..

This sounds like it might be a defective CCD imager. If so, Canon should fix this for you for free, including free shipping both ways. This is regardless of your camera's warranty status. Please check the following two links for more info:

Buy a new camera

Check out the Fiji Tech support team. Depending on the age of the camera there may be a swap out option. Independent repair will not be an economic prop.

The viewfinder image should look sharp & clear, as long as the camera is turned ON. If the camera is OFF, the viewfinder image will blur. At least this is how it works on my C2000z. If your viewfinder is always blurry, I would return the camera for exchange.
