I think it's more what Picasa allows than what you did. The links you posted are to the page where the photo lives. I tried using the photo's URL and it didn't show either.

Here's your photos. Not sure what your settiings were, as there's no EXIF data available, but it appears that the first one is blurred from slow shutter speed and camera shake. In the second one, it looks like the stuffed toy is sharp, while the child is blurry, probably because he was moving. Even with no tripod or slave flash, these kind of snapshots should be acceptable with no more than the on board flash, your camera in P mode, ISO at 100, a steady hand, and of course, everyone being still.

Obviously I have a lot to learn. I will be looking for a slave flash A.S.A.P. I’m not sure what setting I used. Is the “P” better for indoor? Thanks for the advice1

When using a flash it's sometimes better to use M and experiment. So much is dependent on the available lighting, the reflectivity of the surfaces, and the distance from the flash and camera. So set the ISO to 80, set the shutter to maybe 200, I'm not sure what the max sync speed is of the S3, and take a test pic. Adjust the aperture as needed.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

s3is max sync speed is 1/500 (found it after reading the manual 100 times!!) and available in tv & m modes (didn't try av mode). but.. the built-in flash doesn't throw out a lot of light!! i got a vivitar df 120 slave flash & it helps out a bit if used off camera & close to the subject. i'm looking for some suitable material to use as a flash diffuser though to cut down the glare from the on-camera flash.. the s3is can take some great indoor pix if you let it!!
