Is there a factory reset for the S5000? I've tried all of the different settings and still everytime my pictures are blurry.

I have taken 1000's of pictures and they have all been awesome. Just recently I started having problems. Some of them would turn out blurry, but now all of them turn out blurry. I have tried taking pictures in all of the different settings and they are all blurry. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure there's an option in the Setup menu for this (the same menu where you choose Language, Date/ Time, etc). I think it's the last option in that menu- it is called Reset (settings to Defaults). Let me know if you can't find it... try pulling up the menus w/ the Menu button and then scrolling past the Playback and Record menus until you get to Setup.

I'm glad you found it- and more importantly, that it fixed the problem. We tell everyone that when in doubt, use the Reset... glad to know it was successful. =)

Thanks so much - it's been over a year mine's been driving me crazy with blurry pics. What a funny little setting. I am so happy to have solved it.

Hi Beej (weird, that's my nickname too),
The factory reset is supposedly just to put everything back to the original settings, so the assumption is that it works because something on the camera was inadvertently changed. Maybe during the course of using the menus a focus setting or something similar was tweaked and you didn't notice it. This is just speculation of course, I'm not really sure if it could be solving other problems. But I know that with my camera I've accidentally changed things multiple times, and since it's an accident you have no idea what you changed, so can't go back and fix it; that's when the Reset comes in handy.
