Don't worry dude. I'm the same way with my camera. I can never get good pics. I have a Nikon coolpix 8700. Still haven't figured out video with it. I know it does it......just have to.....figure it out....
keep your hands steady. and look through your setting guide for modes where the shutter moves faster than others. (sport mode) if such a mode is an option on your cam would be such a mode.
thanks for the pointer i'll try to figure it out when i get my big tank finished i'll post more fish. by the way how do you tell if a juvy red terror is festea or not? fish in ? are 3in.
