You can reduce image blurring in dark locations or with moving subjects by
increasing the ISO sensitivity (select a larger number).

Adjusting ISO Sensitivity (Recommended Exposure Index)

ISO sensitivity is a speed rating for recording media that incorporates an image sensor that receives
light. Even when the exposure is the same, images differ depending on the ISO sensitivity.
High ISO sensitivity

Records a bright image even in dark locations while increasing shutter speed to reduce blur.
However, the image tends to become noisy.
Low ISO sensitivity

Records a smoother image.
However, when the exposure is insufficient, the image may become darker.
