    It's probably the camera cranking up the ISO to compensate for the low light conditions. It's proabalby just a lot of grain and noise in the picture.

    You can run the picture through a photoshop filter to weed out the noise. I fiddled with it once and it helped, but the image got softer.

    Another method is to decrease the ISO setting manually and use a tripod and take the picture with the longer shutter speed.

    It didn't do that before. I will try and get a pic of what it's doing

    Maybe you aren't holding the camera steady.

    Nevermind, that's not a ISO problem that I was describing.

    Slow shutter speed is trying to compensate for low light. A tripod will help as long as your subject doesn't move. Otherwise, try not zooming in. Most zoom lenses have smaller apertures as you increase the focal length (ie zoom in).

    It is supposed to do that in night mode. With a tripod, you can get cool effects with moving lights and people. Try playing with it a bit.

    Otherwise, if you just want the foreground, use flash. I think if you use flash + night mode + tripod, you may get a proper exposure of the background, while freezing the foreground with the flash.

    I'm sure the photography gurus on here can give you a more detailed explanation. Melinda, Ben, Benyl, etc?

    It's camera shake. Not a fault of the camera.

    You can brace the camera against a tree or other stationary object if a tripod is not available.

    Another thing you can try is rest the camera on something solid, and then use the self-timer so you eliminate motion caused by your finger pressing the shutter.

    Yeah that's 100% camera shake...too dark for the settings on your camera. plus when a camera is set to auto it will not focus properly in low light conditions, thus why your photos are blured and out of focus
