The camera is confused by the brilliance of the sun reflection. Drop the ISO to 100 and speed 1/200th or lower. Just a little practice gets the craters in focus.

Thanks! Can't wait to try it. If I get a good one I'll post it

Here are my settings as I had gotten many a bright blur in the beginning.

S or SP mode, Shutter Speed 160, WB is sunny (for color) but I think the focal could have been better if my sharpness had been set in fine and not hard.

Keep trying and try different settings in both S/SP or A/AP with different shutter speeds to see what works and doesn't.

Thanks everyone for the compliments.
