action blur help

[scrappyangel]

Anyone help me with my disappointing blur I get with my new canon digital. It is basically the step down version of canon rebel. It has a motion stabilizer so I thought I wouldn't have problems with this. However, even the slightest movement from my shot subjects seems to blur. I've noticed far away and more zoom makes it worse so I've tried to minimize the distance if I can. Just looking for some more tips.

I don't have one of these Angel and don't know if I'm much help but on another group I am on, the girls were talking about a blurring problem.
I believe that they concurred that using a tripod helped the blurring problem.

Of course you can totally ignore me if I'm no help at all. :wink:

I agree with Sue, using a tripod will cut down on the blurring a lot!

What size lens are you using? That could be affecting it as well.

You were saying movement from your subjects...if it is the subjet movement you are having trouble with, are you using your camera manually? This can make a difference. Or use the focus with the shutter half way down to lock in the photo subject.
A tripod will help if you are moving.

Make sure you wait a sec. after you snap, sometimes the camera is still configuring your photo.

Just some of my thoughts, hope it helps.
