If not, you MUST. Then set the camera to use ISO of 100 ONLY. Do not let it automatically set it's own ISO. In dark conditions it will set a higher ISO and ALL point and shoots give horrid high ISO photos. Then, when the camera is on the tripod, use the self timer to fire the shutter, or there will be blur due to the movement caused by you pushing the shutter button. Also, of course, I am talking about natural, ambient light photos with NO flash on. Manually set the white balance on the camera to match the ambient lighting conditions. You should be able to get decent indoor shots with this camera. If you had the "latest and greatest" new camera, you would still get awful indoor shots if you do not follow the above procedures. The camera has little to do with good photos, the photographer and his / her skill and knowledge of the camera they have makes good photos. steve First thing, I assume you are using a tripod?
