Hello everybody,
I have recently bought an optio s4i. When I'm taking pictures outdoor at night, using the nightshot-mode, the pictures are very blurry. It's sometimes even difficult to see what's actually in the photo. Does anyone has this same problem, or does someone knows what I'm doing wrong...?? Thanks.

I know nothing about this camera, but I suspect that it is either having trouble focussing in the dark, or it is using a slow shutter speed, and suffering from camera shake. According to the manual, you need to put it on a tripod for night mode. If you are not doing this, that's almost certainly the cause of your problem.

I have the S4, and have taken some great shots (IMHO) using Night Mode. You MUST use a tripod, and ideally the remote shutter release. If you don't have this, you can use the self timer, so that you don't touch the camera/tripod while taking the shot.
