I have that camera also. Very, very good for a point and shoot, but sorry, you cant get great bb pics indoors.Here's my primer for getting good shots, tho: I don't have my camera handy, so this is by memory. Did this at a hockey game recently and got some halfway decent shots:Set to manual mode, change the shutter speed to maybe 160 or 200 to (mostly) freeze action. Now your LCD screen will be very dark. Change the aperture to the smallest #, I think it is 2.8 on that model. Should be better. Now change the ISO (make the # bigger, until the screen brightens up. Dont go too high, or the images will be very grainy.Remember, that as you zoom out, the aperture changes on that camera!!!!! That means less light coming in as you zoom out, so you will have to jack up the ISO or slow down the shutter to get the same exposure. If none of the above makes sense, get out the manual. If it still doesnt make sense, quit worrying about it and just enjoy the game.
