ISO of my camera....Fuji Finepix S5700
I saw on a site that if you lower the ISO on your camera, it takes away the fuzziness.

I just wanted to know if anyone else has a Fuji Finepix S5700 the same as me and if the ISO can be changed as it is 1600.  (I saw that on another site)

Hope someone can help me thanks.

If you use auto, you should not have any problems.

If you are manually choosing the ISO (speed), then you will have to choose the right speed for the situation.
Higher ISO for indoors or night and lower ISO for outdoors or sunny shots.

1600 ISO would create "noise" in your digital image, which is probably what you are talking about..  I have taken 1000's of pics on my Fuji Finepix S5600 (very similar to yours) and almost never moved off auto, even when doing macro shots like this.

This pic was done with an ISO of 64

Hi tvseriesgalore

Thanks for your reply.
Do you know how I can change the iso on my camera?

I'd really like to try with a much smaller iso as I take very close pictures of jewellery, just to see if it made a difference.

I've tried looking for it in the set up area but can't find it.

regards
Ann

I forgot to say, I use the 'picture stabilisation' setting.

It should be in your manual - it should be similar to mine as mine is the model just prior to yours.
Try the "F" symbol near the LCD viewfinder.  Use the arrow buttons to select the ISO wanted.
The ISO is only changing the shutter speed - lower ISO for well lit or fast moving objects - higher ISO for low light areas or night time.

I'd really like to try with a much smaller iso as I take very close pictures of jewellery, just to see if it made a difference.
If you want to take good photo jewellery really, then I suggest a "light box" (like this one) or maybe even just doing it outside in very good lighting as changing the ISO to a low setting without good light will make things worse -  as the camera really requires the correct shutter speed for the amount of light conditions present at the time. 

So, fix your lighting and you'll fix all your problems.

[edit] And if you can get a Macro lens as well as using the Macro setting on you camera, you'll be able to get some great close-up's like this one.
