I am using the Fuji S5000, which is basically the same as your S3800. Also,
I am below a novice too. I just set the camera on auto, and it helps if you
stay still when you snap the picture. My pics come out pretty sharp. I will
get a blurry one when I move. :)
Get a small tripod, set the camera to auto, and see if the pics get
clearer.. Here is a sample shot of my motorcycle, pretty sharp to me! :)
