Hi Jay,
Your camera has a lot of scene modes and manual settings so you can play around a lot to see the effect the different settings have. If you don't want to use the flash indoors as sometimes built in flash can be just too powerful, you can try bumping up the ISO settings to 200 or 400 depending on how much light you have in the room. You don't have image stabilisation though, so you'll need a steady hand for the slower shutter speed.

You can also try using the exposure compensation setting on your camera so that the camera takes 3 shots one after the after, sometimes a slightly over-exposed or under-exposed shot can look much better.

You could try putting your camera in aperture priority mode. Set the aperture as large as possible (smallest number) and then the camera will automatically choose the appropriate shutter speed.

There's an article here which gives some good tips for indoor shots.

Hope this helps,
Mark

hi mark,
how to restore my camera settings to factory default settings?

thanks,
jay

I have the same question about restoring the camera settings to factory default. Somehow we have gotten the shutter speed very slow. Everything is blurry with even a little movement.

the factory reset button is located just inside the battery door. Note, you will need to reset your clock and date after doing this.
