The Powershot SD1200 and Blurry Pictures – How To Stay Focused
Are you getting blurry pictures with your Powershot SD1200?
It’s important to realize that just about any point and shoot camera will take blurry pictures from time to time. Heck I even manage to get blurry pictures with my Canon D350 when I’m not paying enough attention to what I’m doing.
There are a few things you can try to improve the crispness of your pictures though.
First of all, stop zooming in all the time. Most pictures that end up out of focus are taken when zoomed in all the way. If you can, get closer to the subject. In most cases where you use a point and shoot camera that won’t be a problem.
Secondly, use a tripod. For most people it’s hard to keep a camera absolutely still. And the image stabilizer can only do so much. Using a tripod like the Joby GP1-D1EN Gorillapod Flexible Tripod or anything else to steady the camera will greatly improve the crispness of your pictures. Especially when using the zoom feature.
And third, try different settings. Low light conditions will benefit from higher ISO. And using the flash will “freeze” the subject. If you don’t like the way your pictures turn out with flash, you can adjust them on your computer to make the colors look more natural.
These are just a few quick and easy tips to get the most out of your Powershot SD1200.
