I think defining terms may help here? My take on terms used for unwanted blur:

"Motion blur" is (I think) usually a term used for blur caused by movement of the subject - mitigated by increasing shutter speed (or getting the subject to remain stationary ) or in some circumstances, using strobe/speed lights.

"Camera shake" is a term used for blur caused by unintentional camera movement - mitigated by improving the stability of the camera/lens/sensor (say by improved camera holding technique, tripod, OIS/IBIS) and or increased shutter speed

Ah, I didn't realize that was a common blur name. I was looking at it too literally. Apologies to Truman.

"Missed focus" blur caused by, well, missing focus - mitigated by improving focussing technique, which may include better use of camera settings.

[Edit] - I should add that you can get all three in one image!!

I often get 2 or 3 😁 😟
