I tried taking some pics (in A-mode) with high f-stop (small aperture) to get most everything in focus and the camera automatically compensates with a slow shutter speed. The problem with this is I almost always get a blurred out pic. I'm taking the photo by hand. What am I doing wrong? :( Thanks so much for a very informative read… very easy to understand for a complete noob like me :)

So put the brightest aperture, then zoom to the max, you should get a nice blur in the background. That's why I like A-series cameras, they have full manual controls. Glad you all enjoyed it :)
