I played around some more with the camera. I am still having problems with blurry pictures. This one is the best of the batch. I guess I need to do some more reading :-)
The blur could be coming from either low-lighting or focus. Sometimes when there's not enough light, the camera has a hard time finding something to focus in on so the picture comes out blurry. It doesn't have to be "dark" either - may just be inside w/ overhead lights but no additional natural light).
And/or it could be that the camera is focused in on the wrong thing (either automatically or by what you placed the focus on). Most cameras have some type of viewfinder w/ a focus frame that helps you see what will be in focus. My camera, when the shutter button is pushed halfway down, shows a little square on what it is focusing on. Check your manual to see what your particular camera does. You can move the lens around or zoom in/out to get the focus on what you want.
In this picture it looks like the white framing (door/window?) is what is in focus. In the shot w/ the apples, it is either the countertop or the cabinets in the distance that are in focus. Looking at the angle of the picture, the camera probably focused further away than close up - you might even have to use a close up setting to get the focus on the apples (usually the close up setting is a flower symbol, looks like a tulip to me).
One other thing that's a long shot that I thought I'd mention anyways - on my old camera, there was a flash setting that almost always produced blurry shots. The flash setting was the one that had a symbol for flash (a lightning bolt on my camera) w/ "SL" beside it. Obviously I never used it correctly because the pics always turned out blurry. I made sure I either turned the flash off or used the setting where the camera decided to use the flash (it was mostly a point & shoot camera).
Hope some of this helps. Looks like your latest pictures turned out fine so maybe you've already figured it out on your own.

Is it time for a battery change? And are you sure the lens is clean? I've had blur with both of these problems.
But I love both of them! I like the bit of blur. Beautiful colors, too.
