I agree with Michael and Howard. Most of the out-of-focus pictures taken with autofacus cameras are operator error. The G2 has a very well defined autofocus window (the small frame in the finder). You need to have a vertical line for horizontal photos or horizontal line for vertical photos splitting the AF frame. There must be enough contrast for the AF system to react. Try another roll of film and carefully select a part of the subject on which to focus. As lon as there is a "line" differentiating parts of the subject, you should get good AF. By holding the shutter release you will lock in the AF results. Then compose and shoot.
