what kind of light source are you using??? one thing that your camera is probably doing is trying to compensate for low light by taking a longer exposure, leading to a shaky/blurry picture. try using the flash (even if you have to force it on!) and/or turning on more lights.

a camera's auto mode can take a little experimentation, but then you'll know what it likes and doesn't like. it sounds like your camera is trying to avoid using the flash, so add light and see what happens! and let us know.
