Make sure you are on Portrait mode (usually an icon of a face or profile), not on Landscape mode(usually an icon of a mountain). Landscape mode is VERY susceptible to any motion of the camera, so only use it when you are on a tripod, or other steady object. One trick is to use place the camera along a lamppost, or telephone pole, or fence. Then when you push the button, the camera won't move any. Even the eighth of an inch the camera wiggles during the pressing of the button will get you a nice blurred shot in Landscape mode. Using a lot of zoom will also increase the amount of blurriness you get. I generally do not use the digital zoom on my camera, just the optical zoom. Keep up the practice with your photos.
