Can anyone help me?

Ok, where do i start? I really hope someone can help me. Ok I am getting ready to go on vacation in a few weeks, i have been wanting a new camera anyway so I decided to buy one. I bought a Minolta dimage A200. I am not sure if I am doing something completly wrong or what. When i take pictures inside everything seems to be REALLY BLURRY. I have tried changing the settings, and playing with it, but its not working. I have read the manual but that it just confusing me more. Does anyone know what might be going wrong other that operator error haha?

My guess is that either some setting is causing the shutter speed to be set very slow for the ambient light (you'd need a tripod to do this properly - to stop the shaking) or that the camera can't find anything to focus on.

Could you post a sample image? It will be pretty obvious if either one of these guesses is the case. Also it would help if you could post the shooting data for that picture. You can probably see it with the software you're using to edit the pictures. Looking for shutter speed, ISO speed and lens aperture mainly - but whatever else it shows too.

I'd go to your camera store and ask them.
