Out of focus???

Are you selecting your focus point manually, or letting the camera pick one for you?
If it's the latter, it's probably picked the wrong thing to focus on.
If you're manually selecting the focus point, it's possible that the area you're focussing on hasn't got enough contrast for the AF to get an accurate lock on it.

When you focus are you sure the area you want sharp looks in focus in the view finder, if it IS sharp and then wehn you take the shot iit appears out of focus there could be a problem with the camera. Put it on a tripod, focus criticially on an object and see what it looks like. There is another thought, some people find it quite difficult to focus accurately on the screens in cameras needing to use glasses or correction lenses to acheive this correctly, could this also be the issue.

Chances are you have focussed on the background. Your AF points (spots on the viewfinder) should flash when focus is achieved. Make sure you know which point you are using, make sure it is over your subject and make sure it flashes. Take a look at your camera's manual, there should be a page of so on focus.

theres lots of different patterns you can set your camera focus points to aswell.
the manual should point you in the right direction.

It should also be noted that if a subject doesn't fill the AF point then the camera isn't clever enough to notice and will assume you want to focus on the subject that DOES fill most of the point eg. the background.
