Photos blur when taken indoors?

I'm using my cousin's Nikon 1 J1 and every time I take pictures indoors or at dusk the pictures blur. I haven't changed any of the settings yet and I can't get a hold of my cousin. What settings do I need it on for indoor or dusk shots when the person is moving? I've never used a Nikon before so I'm new at this

If you can on your camera you need to change the length of the shutter speed, a shorter speed (should be with the larger numbers e.g 1000th of a second) should solve the blurring. However you will need to change the aperature to make sure you have the correct contrast settings on the camera. The smaller aperature number the larger the gap so more light is let in when you press the shutter, and vice versa. There should be a scale somewhere to tell you weather the settings are correct it takes a bit of experimentation and getting used to, but trust me sounds more difficult than it aticually is. I'm currently doing an A level photography course so i'm really glad to help. I would not suggest using the flash as my teacher has often said (and personally i agree) that the flash is not very flattering to people in photographys and can often ruin the dynamics and contrasts of a picture.
Have fun taking pictures, and hope this helps.

You can download the manual for a Nikon. Just get the proper name off the camera and go to the Nikon site and find the camera and download the manual. If you don't need it in the future just delete when you are through.

You need to use the pop-up flash for indoor or dusk shots in fact, you need the flash for most shots with a subject closer than 10 feet for best illumination even in daylight.

Interesting info from Francesca, as any pro photographer would never go to ANY shoot without at least one really good, dependable flash unit.

There's a limit on how much you can change the shutter speed/aperture and digital cameras produce dark, under-exposed images with poor color saturation and very low, hard-to-correct contrast when you try to get shots without using a flash.

You may be able to do this depending on how much light is available, but you will miss a lot of shots fiddling with the controls.

Hope This Helps.
Good-Luck!
