How do you avoid blurry printed pics from a digital camera?

I've tried to use Irfanview and the Canon program and I can't seem to get my pics to come out sharp rather than blurry when printed out. Thank you!

Are they blurry when you view them on the camera's viewfinder or on the computer monitor? If so, I'm afraid there isn't much you can do...it may mean you flinched or otherwise unintentionally shook the camera right when you clicked the shutter..OR there is something wrong with your camera. Also, how what size pictures are you printing and how many megapixels is your camera? It could be that the size of the picture is too large for your camera to produce sharp images. For example, I have a 5.1 megapixel camera and anything I print much larger than a 5x7 doesn't turn out sharp. Next time I'll try to get a camera that's 7 or 8 megapixels so I can make larger prints more clearly. Hope this helps.

Hi there,

Download FastStone image editor software from this site. this is really wonderful and will sure remove da Blurs as well as it make da image sharpen also..

I used this software and got good results..

Hold the camera steady!! Use a tripod or support your camera by holding it against your eye, the way people used to do it in the olden (film) days. If you hold the camera at arm's length the camera move will be increased.

Check that your lens is clean. If it is not, use lens cleaner but not household cleaners! Check your instructions on how to clean a smudged lens.

Finally make sure the autofocus works properly. In many situations the camera will not be able to focus on the right place. Your camera manual will show how you can point a square in the view finder to the subject that must be in focus. Most digital cameras have a focus confirmation light that you should watch before pressing the shutter all the way to take the picture.

If your camera continues to produce blurry pictures after checking these things, maybe you should ask Canon whether the camera can be repaired.

You probrably need to get a better printer.
