SONY DSC-S85 out of focus??

[Birchwood]

After years of lugging around 25 pounds of Nikon stuff I bought a digital. Worked fine for the first year. Now I am getting soft, sometimes very out of focus images. Have checked and re-checked the camera; read and re-read the manual, and again this morning blew a couple of really good shots.
I have shot a coupel things with this camera that simply blew me away!! But now this.Can anybody help. I tried to navigate the SONY support site, but like most of them it is totally impossible (just the way they want it) for a mere mortal. Any suggestions appreciated.

If the change occurred after working well for a year, it is highly unlikely that there is anything you can do to fix it. Send it back to Sony for an repair estimate.

Honestly any price they charge you will be too much. Maybe it is time to consider a step up to DSC-V3, or perchance a Dslr.
