So based on that picture can you tell if the settings are set to best picture? I have a 2 gig sd card it only saves like 200 pictures, does that sound right? I would think it would hold a lot more
2gb is quite a small capacity card these days. You can get yourself an 8gb card for only a few dollars now that 16, 32, 64 and 128gb cards are regularly out there.
Now the image...did you support the camera on a tripod?
Because the shutter speed is 1/8 sec which is a bit slow for handholding.
The general room of thumb is that to avoid camera shake you need to have a shutter speed faster then 1/ focal length used.
In your case you used 18mm ...so conventional wisdom would recommend a shutter speed faster than 1/18sec....not 1/8sec.
Of course, using automatic and program modes, the camera decides the settings. Apart from going onto the other manual and semi manula modes, your main option is to increase the ISO. It's currently at 200. If you dialled this up to (say) 800 it would change the camera settings to make the shutter speed faster, for hand holding.
Incidentally I see from the data younhave focus mode set to AF-A. Personally I would set this to AF-S.
