No Flash = Blurry pictures

In many cases, I have noticed that if you don't use Flash while in a room with a lot of artificial light, the picture easily becomes blurry but using flash corrects this.

Forgive me for being so new at this, but why is this happening, and what can I do to reduce the blurriness when not using flash?

Thanks so much for any help... and I apologize if this is a really stupid question

Re: No Flash = Blurry pictures

Think this is a case of a slow shutter speed so you need to - make the ISO number higher about 400 should do, or use some lighting, or if the subject is still try a tripod and a cable release so you do not shake the camera. If you were using a DSLR you can sometimes get camera shake when the mirror operates and each camera will have a way of dealing with this in the manual.
