I have a a Sony DSC-P72, 3 megapixel camera. I am constantly changing settings on the camera to prevent blurry images. Can anyone recommend some settings to stop the blurriness?
i dont know about fixing it via the camera, but i do know of some free software that can clean the bluriness up once it is on the pc. Simply called picasa2 its free via google sotware description: Working with your pictures Import Pictures: Get pictures from a camera, scanner, or CD Organize Pictures: Star, caption, add labels, and move photos on disk Edit Pictures: Adjust contrast, color, and apply photographic filters.

Blurry images can not be fix with computer (except in C.S.I. ). You can only make them look sharper but it reduces the quality quite bit. Every image manipulation software has sharpen option. Bigger ISO allows you to take photos in darker lighting. With my canon I can shoot pictures inside without flash easily with ISO 400. But when ISO is bigger noise is also bigger. At ISO 400 it's almost unbearable, but it can be cleaned with neat image -> http://www.neatimage.com/ edit: typo
well, that's just great news. there's this setting "OEV", what is that? oh and sometimes my pictures look overexposed to the flash, can i fix that on the computer?
Oev is the white balance. Minus is darker and plus lighter. Comes in handy when shooting at beach, indoors etc. You can fix overexposed images a little but it's the same deal as with blurry images -> quality suffers. When the picture is overexposed just try to take a new one if it's possible. If you're shooting with flash too close (macro shots for example) the result is almost always overexposed pictures.

thanks. I tried Picasa2, good program. I like programs with tons of weird/cool filters to "modify" pictures. Any out there at a decent price?
I think photoshop elements 3.0 is worth every penny. It's like a lite version of original photoshop, most advanced features are deleted but what is essential for light editing of photos is still there. Try it out and see your self: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopelwin/main.html You can get it at 80$ if I remember correctly. Older versions might be cheaper, they're good too.
I have a a Sony DSC-P72, 3 megapixel camera. I am constantly changing settings on the camera to prevent blurry images. Can anyone recommend some settings to stop the blurriness? I also have a sony DSC-100. Similar camera. I too get a good number of blurriness. I thought it was because the camera is so light, when one clicks they jerk on the camera and thus movement is recorded. My wife keepted telling me its not that. Now that I see your post I wonder if its a defect in the camera.
I think it may be a defect in the camera, I'm always trying to get the optimum settings but it never seems to work. Now I just avoid taking outdoor pictures as it seems blurriness takes place only in the outdoors.
After playing around with mine for a while and reading the manual, I managed to put the camera in a setting so that the light always flash. I have now taken about 25 pictures this way and none have been blury. Try it and see if it works for you.
I am trying right now, but I can't seem to stop the blurriness sat full optical zoom. What settings do you have?
Will have to waite till Friday. My wife read the manual and set it according to the instructions. You can get the manual online for the model you have. I wont have access to the camera till Friday.
