My Sony DSC-P72 takes very sharp pictures. But my daughter recently took it to two music concerts and got very blurry photos using the zoom. It's very disappointing, because the pictures were a chance of a lifetime and none of them turned out clear at all. I normally keep it set on AUTO because it's easier. I thought that maybe the darkness and the colored, flashing lights were confusing the AutoFocus. Any advice, please, on how to get clear concert photos? Thank you in advance.....Sharlene

You may be right about the autofocus if it was too dark to focus properly but it is very likely that it is because of a slow shutter speed. If it was somewhat dark and you were using a long zoom, you would need a fast shutter speed or a tripod to get a sharp pic.
