I have a point and shoot superzoom, Nikon P610.
Takes excellent photos, and i’ve Won a couple of photo contests at a nature preserve.
Since last week (it happened quickly) I haven’t been able to focus it properly, photos all look like they are from a 4mp photo (but they aren’t).
I’ve looked thru all the settings, done a reset but can’t seem to find anything that will fix it.
I had a look on the Internet but couldn’t find anything helpful.
Luckily I haven’t yet seen anything that I regret missing a great photo of.
Should I just give up and get a new camera?
(I’ve taken about 20,000 photos with it over the last 2 years.)

Have you checked your high ISO noise reduction control? If set too high it can cause smearing of an image, particularly JPEG images. Basically it’s a good idea, but it can cause problems. Ordinarily is should be set either to “off” or “standard.” High can be too high. Check this out and see if it makes any difference.

Wouldn't a 'RESET' set that tab "off" or "standard"??

I tried it and things are much improved!
Not sure if it’s pe4fect, but it’s much better.
Thanks for your help!

By the way, it was set to std, and I reduced it to low.
Glad that worked.

Sabotage by jealous competitors?
