Why are my indoor pictures blurry?

Ive got a fuji digital camera and I am suppose to take indoor snapshots of a prom and im afraid they will come out blurry... any suggestions?

Camera's need to receive a certain amount of light in order to take a photo. In locations where the light is low, it takes longer for the camera to receive enough light, so pictures come in blurry, as you said. There are three ways to combat this. The first being ISO settings. Your ISO is the digital equivalent of film speed. In dark locations, you need your ISO as high as it can go on your camera. The second thing you should do is make your aperture open more. you may need to read your manual to find out how on your camera, but if your aperture is larger, more light enters, so, again it takes less time to receive X amount of light. The final route is flash. flash can have devastating effects on photo's. Blasted foregrounds, and black backgrounds are the norm with flash. however, if your camera has the ability, you could use Slow sync Flash (again, check your manual) basically, slow sync flash shoots out bursts of light, which bounce around the entire room. after the final burst, the photo is taken. this should show ambient light in the room, and give non-blurry subjects. I wish you the best of luck.

Turn on your flash. If your flash is on, use it in the "auto" mode, not the "flash on" mode.

Digital cameras are good, but they are much slower than film cameras. In low light conditions they perform poorly.

There could a range of issues. One is about the auto-focus. Many cameras have an auto-focus light, which you might need to use in low light conditions, otherwise the camera uses the wrong focus.

Secondly, there is the issue of speed. You may need to change your settings to get good photos in low light conditions. In most cameras it is the ISO setting. The higher the setting the better for fast action and lower light.

You can also use a flash, but this means the photos usually look terrible.

yes, because there's no light back ground that reflected to ur digicam flash. a tips that taking picture inside the room or indor is to shoot with close distance (approx. 2 meters max).

What model Fuji? The F30 / F31 are amazing in low light situations. Try setting the ISO higher. Also make sure the aperture is set to the lowest number. I wouldn't use flash unless absolutely necessary. I hate the look unless it's a separate flash bounced off the ceiling.
