I recommend to use the caption package. It provides features for justification, also for centering, such as

\usepackage[justification=centering]{caption}

It offers many features, just have a look at its comprehensive documentation.

  • Kottwit, for my long table captions, i'm using \newline to make some comments about the tables. But i want these start from left is that possible? this is caption \newline this is more explanation (should be left aligned.) is there a way to do it? – berkay Apr 19 '11 at 7:31

    @berkay: Using \newline inside a paragraph which will be typeset centered is usually a bad idea. Better use \\ instead which should work under such conditions, too. – Axel Sommerfeldt Apr 21 '11 at 5:26

  • Package caption Warning: Unsupported document class (or package) detected, usage of the caption package is not recommended. See the caption package documentation for explanation. (I use OverLeaf with XeLaTex Compiler) – Cohensius Oct 27 at 13:59

Note: If you do not want to change the justification for the whole document you can use \captionsetup{} within a particular figure and it will only change the captions within that environment. Other than centering you may also want to try centerlast.

\usepackage{caption}
...
\begin{figure}
   ...
   \captionsetup{justification=centering}
   \caption{. . . }
\end{figure}
