SD 750

A friend asked me to take a look at her SD750 because the shots are all comming out blurry. Indeed they are. I have put the camera into M picture mode (I think this is the equivilant to P in the newer models), auto ISO, vivid color, 2 second timer, camera on table....blurry! It seems as if there is not much for auto focus options. It seems as if it only has the mode that may or may not select multiple points (green boxes). I think it may not always be selecting what the user intends the subject to be to focus on. However, it seems to be really bad. I point the camera right at somthing that should clearly be the the focus point and it doesn't always select it. I use a G11 for a P & S and I have several AF modes. Best I can tell this camera only has one. Any thoughts. It really seems as if this thing should at least take a non blurry shot.

Sorry for the typos...at comp. without spellcheck (didn't know that exsisted).

Thanks

Is it OOF blur or camera motion blur? Can you post examples at a variety of subject distances?

Sorry...unable to post. We are at work (not working hard!). Anyhow, this is clearly OOF blur. Like I said. I put it on a table and used the timer. Results...Blurry. I found a couple other posts form several years ago and it seems as if others have had this problem. I'm at a loss. I can't think of anything other than it is just a dud copy.

I had a SD500 that wouldn't select the correct focus point, the only solution was to set center point only and put the center rectangle on the subject, after the camera focus locked on the subject recompose and shoot the image. This worked while inconvenient but I got used to it. Now I set center point on all my cameras and find I pay more attention to composition and always get my subject in focus.

I couldn't seem to figure out how to set it to center point focus only.

sounds like it needs an optic adjustment. depending on how blurry the images are, it might need a whole new optic.
