Sorry, When your camera is in picture mode is thier a switch or button that has a mountain and a flower on it. The flower setting is for Macro or close up photography. Macro shoulg give you clearer pics.

i tried the macro and didnt really get any better of results...this is the best of many and i still think the camera should be able to do better.

here is one taken with the flash...i think it is much more clear but it still isnt the effect i am after...i think i might just get a new camera

I have never had much luck with the flash. The last couple of pictures look like you may not have enough light in the tank. Everything in photograghy comes down to light. Can you take a full tank shot and post it so I can see the lighting.

thanks...he is getting to be a little over 7 inches. I have been playing more with the camera and i can get the rock looking good but the fish ALWAYS turn out blurry. Its like the camera cant focus on their movement.

THe camera can't get enough light to stop the action of the fish. Fish are very very hard to photograph unless they are perfectly still. I the lighting is not bright enough for the camera and it auto settings makes it use a slower shutter speed which causes the blur. If it were to speed up the shutter speed the pic would be underexposed and turn out very dark. This will happen no matter what camera you use. Good luck keep trying.
