I dont think so. What is happening is, the camera is slowing down the shutter speed in order to capture more light so the picture is bright enough. With a slow shutter speed, the shutter sits open for a longer time, and the potential is greatly increased for you to move or have shaky hands during that time, causing the image to blur. Try setting the camera down on a table, bracing it against your knee or body, or using a tripod. You can also change settings manually to compensate for the light in other ways and keep the shutter speed faster, but it sounds like you have it in Auto. So just do your best not to shake when you take the photo.

This camera doesn't let you adjust the shutter speed thru direct user control, so you'll have to do it in another way. Try changing the Programmed modes. If you are using Auto, press the Menu button and choose one of the other modes.

The modes that are designed for low light (Twilight, for example) will have slow shutters, but will also be designed for the lighting conditions (meaning, they may change the aperture as well as the shutter speed) and may give you better results. My best advice is to experiment with these modes and see which ones result in steady pictures that are bright enough in the lighting conditions you have. It's tricky to recommend a mode since I'm not sure how dark the photo you're shooting really is, but play around with all of them and pay attention to how they change the results.

Also, if you depress the shutter button halfway, this camera displays the settings it has chosen for aperture and shutter speed along the bottom of the screen. You can use this info to choose various modes that have faster shutter speeds and might lessen image shake.
