pictures with moving subject come out fuzzy, only still or posed pictures are clear

Basically the only thing I know how to do with my Sony DSC-F828 is take pictures in 3:2 mode (to print 4x6 pics) and have auto flash and auto focus on. When taking non-moving pictures they come out sharp, but taking normal movement shots (ie family gatherings, my son playing) half the pictures are always fuzzy. Also, a lot of times if there are two objects in a picture the camera will "focus" on one subject very clearly and the other will come out fuzzy (usually the object I wanted a picture of!) What "mode" should I be shooting in for "moving" subjects? It is very frustrating! I am almost ready to go back to my "regular" camera. I may have to wait to see the pictures, but at least they are always in focus!!

The progem is that you are using the auto settings on the camera instead of the manual ones which will allow you to control your picture. By setting the right speed and focus to what you desire as well as control over the iris. There is nothing wrong with the camera. Read the manual it totally changed how i shot with cameras like this one. I had the same issue at first.

The reason why your pictures come out fuzzy is obviously because you are trying to take pictures in lighting conditions that the camera struggles to cope with in auto mode. This is why the camera was given different manual configurations (manual M; shutter S etc)

If the lighting conditions are very low (e.g. sunrise; sunset; cloudy days or pour indoor lighting) the best setting configuration to have the camera on would be shutter or S; this will allow you to set the speed the shutter will move; thus allowing allot more or very little light into the camera; by turning the black wheel in the right top corner of the camera. The shutter speed can be set to 60 seconds (30") or a fraction of a second (2000). Basically taking the picture with a setting of anything above 200 would be safe enough to use in bad lighting conditions without distortion. Always remember that the viewfinder or LCD does not always display the correct preview of the picture you are going to take in relation to the settings you have set the camera to. And lastly it would be a good idea to put the camera down on something stable while taking the picture or to buy a tripod; this will ensure the camera to be stable while taking a picture. By using a tripod you will be able to take pictures at night without any fuzzy-ness.
