I'm no digital guy but it sounds like a to close focus problem. My Nikon film camera is auto focus and I rely on it almost exclusively. When the lens senses the subject is in focus I get an indication in my view finder. If I get closer than the lens is built to handle I can't get that positive indication. Do you have a similar indication of "in focus"?

Maybe if you back off a bit, say 8 feet instead of 4, take the photo and then bring it into photo shop and crop it down, then see if you get the fuzzy look.

Maybe you're just not in focus and it's not communicating this as well as it should.
