Are you shooting in auto?

Is your lens auto-focusing properly - i.e. do you see/hear it move then beep when it locks focus? If not, you might be in manual focus mode.

Did this only happen when you tried to take alot of pictures quickly? Was it a moving subject? Was it in low light? It could have been a combination of camera shake and motion blur.

I have noticed that even if I have an SRL I still need to take my time and focus on my subject.

Many times, especially in the beginning I was rushing. My camera had a hard time following. I was not giving time to the lense to actually focus on the object I really wanted. So in essence I was just shooting at "whatever".

I still do continuous shoot sometimes but I do set up properly. I align the middle square on my subject, press the button half way THEN I shoot.
