Retard here, I'm trying to fix up my camera settings so it stops being so fucking blurry in close-ups, which is something that's been plaguing it even in ideal lighting. Please bear in mind that I'm an amateur photographer.I'm going to upload some photos directly. from my camera so the EXIF data should automatically transfer over. The first will be in "auto" mode and has a noticable red filter that idk how to get rid of, the second will be with "Easy Mode" turned on[EXIF data available.

It can take stills of objects at a distance fine for the most part, but the second I have to to photograph anything close up or moving, most especially people, the quality massively degrades[EXIF data available.

Unfortunately I keep getting other photographs blocked from upload for "containing an embedded file" so I had to save this one in paint with the EXIF data removed but hopefully you can see the problem I'm having here. I can upload other pics from the same camera if you need more help identifying issues with the settings.[EXIF data available.

>>4386386Nevermind, it still captures the EXIF data.Here's a shot I took of the RMS Queen Mary from a boat using the same camera. It was calm weather and the boat itself was moving at leisurely pace but it still fucked up the image quality.[EXIF data available.

try increasing your aperture to f8 or f11 and see if that improves things
>>4386383And usually the best first advice is to read the fucking manualhttps://www.manualslib.com/manual/25970/Casio-Exilim-Ex-S8.html
>>4386383Kino afThe tint is because your white balance settings are off. Try switching to auto WB.If you're blurry in overcast sky, your aperture is too narrow or shutter too slow. Learn to use those modes.
