moto G power blurry pics

Question

Camera takes blurry pics. Especially when enlarged. Contrast is also lacking. My old ZTE Z719DL took much better pics. I thought with time Id adapt and get better taking pics with the moto G, but it's not happening. I have decades of camera experience with 35mm cameras. Why are the pics blurry. Also the contrast is less.

Maybe there is something that Im doing wrong. I did notice if I make a concerted effort to hold it extra steady with two hands and brace my arms against a solid object, the pics are less blurry, but they are still a little blurry and once enlarged even 3 or 4x they are awful. Blurry with flash too.

There are other issues too, so maybe entire phones needs a reset...but I just bought it two months ago.

ideas?

thanks,
paul

Are you on the latest software version?  If so, can you try installing other camera apps and see if the pics are still blurry? If this problem persists, the issue could be beyond the camera app or software.

Let aside user manuals crammed with gobbledygook and the green mile of time-wasting photo editors, in case you are the instant result worshipper, as I am: apps stores are heavily loaded with gadgets capable of turning awful photos, blurry or not, into pro  class images, enhancing all factors, once options are set before using it for the shots. I tried trainloads of them and I use a handful, find yours by T&E.

it is not unreasonable to expect these pics from this phone to be better then my old 2014 ZTE
