How to take clear pictures?

[nsweezie]

Hello!
I have 6 gerbils, and I would like to take some pictures of them. I have a digital camera, and every picture I have taken so far is a bit blurred.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Do you have a 'macro' setting on your camera?? If so, use it. The macro mode allows your camera to focus on objects close-up.

Also if applicable, use flash (if you haven't before) or get better lighting. If you don't have good lighting, pictures can turn out blurry.

If you don't have macro, try taking the pictures on a larger resolution on your camera and from farther away. Then you can just crop the images on your computer!!

Are you taking pictures of them inside their enclosure?

if so,, try putting an over head light above the enclosure and see if that helps any.

i havent figured out how to take good tank pictures yet.. but the better the lighting.. the better off the focus will be
