[QUOTE="Alan, post: 328439, member: 12333"] The camera is not really made to be a point and shoot but try the following settings and see if it helps. This is what I set it at when I want to just point and shot. Set the mode select wheel to P In Menu set the ISO to set range 100-800, This allows the camera to adjust to lighting changes In Menu set AF area mode to "center. This will give you one focus point in the center of the view. You can focus on a spot and then move the camera slightly if what you want in focus is not in the center. Insure the box turns green. If it does not release the pressure on the shutter and try again. Depending on the subject it might take a couple of times to get a good lock. In Menu set Noise Reduction to high. In Menu set Active D lighting to off In Menu set Image quality to fine and Image size to 16m In Menu set metering to Matrix Set you focus to AF Hope this helps. I took this shot of my Grandson today with settings close to these. [CENTER][ATTACH type="full"]99425._xfImport[/ATTACH][/CENTER] [/QUOTE]
