Lisa, You haven't mentioned which Finepix model you have. There are a number of reasons for the blurry shots: You're taking the photos too close to them for the camera to focus, but the most likely issue is your shutter speed. If you're taking photos of kids, they move around so quickly, that it's best to use the Sports mode on the camera, that way your shutter speed will be faster. As far as the flash goes, I try everything in my power not to use the flash, I find it really creates too many shadows etc. You can set most camera to turn the flash off, but set it to a shadow setting (so it compensates for low light without using the flash). HTH, Jeanette Thanks for the comments.

Every time I try to get close up pictures of my kids they are either very blurry or the flash is just too bright and washes them out. What am I doing wrong? PS: Love the picture of the adorable little guy! I have a fujifilm finepix.
