I take it that is your Apple keyboard and how far from the object were you? The closest you can focus in Standard mode is about 4 feet. Can you remember the settings? Please set the camera on fully automatic and take a shot of the street outside your house and post it as a comparison.
Hi Andy,

Yes, that is a resized/cropped image. I was stood about 4 feet away and that image is a (not too extreme) close up to show the fuzzy problem.

It was not taken through a window but just stood a few feet back.

I took some photos outside in the sunlight and the problem isn't as noticable when everything's in focus (the same oil painting look is still there when I zoom in a bit).

Will there be a better setting for indoor other than the actual 'Indoor' setting? I've seen some indoor product photos on eBay that will be taken in similar conditions that look great. I'm not sure what to change to fix the problem.

Thanks for your help so far Andy!
