Pre-focus for best results
Some of the reviews on the Mju complain about blurry photos. I've hardly ever had this problem. The answer is to pre-focus. While you can whip your Mju out of your pocket or its little belt-holster (very James Bond) and start shooting instantly, you do need to pre-focus.
To do this, point the Mju at your subject. Wait for the focus light in the viewfinder to go green; then shoot. You can also lock the focus in place: press the shutter button down half way, wait for the focus light to go green, then shoot.
Locking the focus is an acquired skill. Playing with the shutter button can take the photo unexpectedly, until you're used to how much play there is in the button. You can get the feel of the shutter buttonmost easily when the camera's closed. Mine was quite firm when I bought it first, but it's a little looser now. ¶ 7:03 AM
