I am going to try the old 35mm automatic next time, along with the digital.

My digital let's me turn off the flash, then the only choices are the white balance and brightness, EV?. I've fiddled endlessly, and am starting to understand what settings are what. The blurry ones happen when the little hand flashes on my screen - telling me it's likely & to use a tripod. I did & it still happened. The kids were actually really still most of the time.

Thanks for the tips, this is very helpful.
