Re: SX500 is Settings

If you google "why are my photos blurry"; https://www.google.com/search?q=why+are+my+photos+blurry&rlz=1CAACAJ_enUS609US609&oq=why+are+my+photos+blurry&aqs=chrome..69i57.7257j0j1&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=0&ie=UTF-8

Just as a first guess, if you are allowing the camera to control you - by using full auto settings - then you have no control over the camera.  If you do not understand how the camera focuses, then your images will often be blurred at the point of interest you wanted but sharp at another location in the image.

Anyone can achieve cleaner, sharper, more well focused shots if they try two things; first, understand your camera to the point you can judge proper settings and, second, use a tripod.

There's obviously more to this than two things.  If you use a tripod, for instance, you want to disable the image stabilization circuits in your camera.  Then you must remember to re-engage them when hand holding a shot.  It's all a process known as "the learning curve" of photography.  I would suggest you begin by sitting down at your kitchen table with your camera and the owners manual to really learn your specific camera, how it operates and when - and when not - to rely on the various features to obtain better photos.
