The 15 frames burst is not that grate as it limits your resolution to
1280X960 or less per the manual Page 25.
"When [d(15fps)] is set, [IMAGE QUALITY] is limited to below
[1280x960] and the maximum number of pictures that can be taken for
sequential shooting is approximately less than 20"
I would not recommend this mode to get good still pictures.
Page 27 of the manual talks about Fulltime AF and AF Predict. Either
of those options should allow you to focus better on the moving
subjects.
Can you post a full size picture also? What are you using to resize
them?
Good luck
