Try to always focus the camera on the subjects eyes, press the shutter half way down, don't let go, now re-frame the subject in your viewfinder and snap the picture. You should see better results.

Manual Focus by: Anonymous
What I've found with focusing is that although I know what I want to be in focus, the camera isn't as sure. Don't know what indication your camera provides when something is in focus, but mine provides an audible beep.
When there are multiple possible focus points in a small depth of field, I would suggest to focus manually, if your camera allows it. Whenever I take macro shots, I always go manual to avoid problems.

Well if you could of set you apature to about 11 then all would be in focus. If I remenber correctly you can set you camera to "M" and set it there. This should give you less blur in your back grounds. But this is a great shot the way it is.

hope this helps by: Kathleen
Focus on the eyes (placing the red dot in the viewfinder on the eyes/eye. Try to capture some catch lights in the eyes to give it life. I am not familiar with the Powershot and what it can and cannot do. But it looks as though your setting was set to av thus keeping the nose sharp and the rest blurred. This is great if you want something in focus ie a portrait and the background blurred. If your camera is just a point & shoot, set it to portrait and as I said focus on the eyes. Luv the pose of the dog though. ;-) Hope this helps some.
