Is this pic a little blurred because of camera movement?

Yep, rule of thumb you can't hold the camera steady enough to cancel out body jitters at a shutter speed less than 60 unless you have a steady rest of some sort. Just a guess; you were indoors under incandescent lighting. Try posing the picture so you can put the camera on a chair or table to steady it.

yup, you described the setting.

I got a telescoping mono-pod that works well but I doan use it enough ... and a little mini-tripod too. I find myself wanting a remote trigger sometimes. :rolleyes:

guess I should retake some of the pics I use often. :o

thanks,

If I may ask; what camera?

Samsung Digimax 530

Not familiar with that model but you might want to break out the book to see if it has a white balance correction mode. Incandescent lighting (tungsten) is yellow (warm) which gives photos a yellow color cast. Most newer cameras will have a mode that will correct for that which will give photos a truer color.

I gave the wife a Samsung NV20 two Christmases ago. Really great little camera but Samsung doesn't even make that one anymore.

Yes there is a White Balance setting on that camera.

You'll get better shots if you use the 10 second timer and a tripod.
