Read the manual that came with the camera.

The camera is only a tool - until you learn to use it properly, you'll have problems.

Most people would learn how to drive before they buy a car - it pays to do the same for a camera.

Read your manual! Read it several times, and practice in between. If you don't have a book, download a new one from the manufacturer's website.

Attend a class, visit your local library for some books, read/watch online tutorials.

There are many resources available to us online, some of those provided by the camera manufacturers (and NO, you do NOT need an Olympus camera to learn about general photographic principles just because those hints are on an Olympus websites - Photography is Photography.)
For example:

Understanding at least the basic principles of photography (as well as being familiar with your camera) will enable you to make the most of your gear, and will make a HUGE difference to your images.

I presume that is the camera you bought on line. That's the problerm with buying on line - you don't get that nice friendly help in the shop. Since you bought from Jessops on line try taking the camera to a Jessops shop and asking for help.

Since you just bought it, I recommend you keep everything on auto. Autofcous and auto exposure. This will just give you a feel of the camera, once you get bored of the auto mode, take over and start using the manual modes, A, S, M. Watch some tutorials or read your user manual, which will have everything you need.

Stay out of manual mode at the moment, until you understand all the settings.

Chances are its seem you have left the camera on one of the MASP or PASM settings on the MODE dial.

If the image is blurred it means you are likely to be taking photos with a slow shutter speed, you are hand holding the camera, therefore shaking whilst the camera takes an image, the result you get blurry photos. No matter how still you think you are holding it humans can't stay absolutely still ask any photographer or even rifleman, millimeters of movement can cause a photo to go blurred.

As everyone has said you don't buy a dSLR and expect to get professional photographs straight away, great looking photos are taken by the photographer using the camera as a tool.

I have a D3200 and take perfectly good pictures with it (mind you i don't use the kit lens).

You're gonna need to do some reading (a lot of reading) on various websites and actual books regarding photography to realise that just pushing a button and thinking the camera will do all the work is not the case.

Visit some of the websites i have listed below for tutorials and reviews.

P.S. Work on your English, as spelling, punctuation and grammar are atrocious

This is why anyone who buys a dslr or slr for that matter should know the basics of photography. It's a lot just to learn how to use the camera, let alone why you should set your aperture say from f/3.5 to f/11.

Nothing wrong with the camera - it's because you don't know how to use it properly.

Set it on Auto to start with & read the manual that came with it - if you don't have one, it can be downloaded online.

Once you've got to grips with the camera itself, then get yourself a course on the basics of photography.

Don't think because you've bought a 'professional' looking camera that it will magically take 'professional' looking images - that's down to user skill.

Would you a car without knowing how to drive and then blame the car when you crashed?

There's NOTHING wrong with the camera. Using a DSLR properly takes skill and knowledge, neither of which you have at this time. Sorry, but you can't buy your way to good photos…

1. Shoot under lots of good light.
2. Make sure the camera is at least 3 feet away from your subject.
3. Read the manual.
4. Take up photography lessons.
5. You have just discovered that picture quality depends on the user. The camera is only a tool.
