The camera has always taken great photos and macro photos. I have it
set on "P" right now. Lately the photos are not very sharp and they
are grainy. The camera even when it shouldn't is saying it needs more
light and the hand is up in the viewfinder. I'm outdoors and there is
more than enough light for this to be happening. I really don't think
the camera is bad I think I need to reset something that I screwed up
and don't know what it is. The photos seem degraded no matter how I
set the camera. Until recently it worked great all the time. Thanks if
anyone has any ideas.

I'm not familiar with the S7000 or the S9000 for that matter, but
I have a copy of the S9000 manual, and it shows that the Setup Menu
has a Reset option, which :

Resets all the camera settings (other than the DATE/TIME,
TIME DIFFERENCE, , VIDEO SYSTEM and
BACKGROUND COLOR) to the factory default values set at
shipment. A confirmation message appears when you press
"c". To reset the camera settings, press the "MENU/OK"
button again.

See if the S7000 has a similar menu option. If not, you could try
removing the batteries for a long enough amount of time to reset the
camera. This could take only minutes, or it might take a lot
longer. Or you could try something normally only done by the very
foolish. :) The S9000's manual says :

Always turn the camera off when replacing the batteries. Opening the
battery cover or disconnecting the AC power adapter without turning
the camera off may cause the camera settings to revert to the factory
default values set at shipment.

If all fails, it probably won't be cost effective to try getting
the S7000 repaired. The only consolation would be that a newer
model, such as the S9100 or the slightly smaller S6000fd are much
improved compared to the S7000.

Thanks, I just did the reset, my camera has that also and I never did
a format
before so I did that and from the one indoor photo I just took it
looked great.
I will test more tomorrow outdoors. The reset put the camera back on
XD and I changed it to CF since thats what I have now. So far it
helped.
