Shooting with the S5 IS

[strawberriesnmilk]

I have just recently started shooting with my new S5 and.. let's just say there are a number of questions to ask. I have played around with the AV settings, Shutter settings and etc.. I am not quite satisfied with the amount of blur I am still receiving. Are there any default settings any of you use on your own personal cameras that I could try out? I have seen some photos on here that are absolutely amazing with the S5. Maybe I am just not used to the camera yet?... Any helpful tips are very much appreciated. Thanks in advance. :)

High shutter speed = sharp pics.
I'd try TV mode and set a shutter speed accordingly.

It helps if you post example pics. Are you shooting in low light? Are you using a tripod? You should really only be adjusting the aperture to change the depth of field. I like to take a test shot in "P" mode to see what the camera thinks is the best exposure settings then adjust according to my personal tastes. Also, make sure to pause half-way when pushing the shutter button down to give the auto-focus a chance to work, you should hear a beep and see a green rectangle when it's locked the focus. Hope this helps!!
