Camera not taking good pix inside

[ttens]

Hi! So, you all were very helpful regarding the use of my camera. I took some good shots over the weekend but last night tried to take some inside. Those pix came out terrible. They were definitely blurred, more pixelated, and had poor light.

I downloaded all the suggested apps, held the button to focus, etc. Nothing seemed to do the job. Is it just that I have to have the right lighting inside or am I missing a trick?

Thanks!

Most smartphone cameras still don't do that great with low light (heck, a lot of dedicated point-and-shoot cameras are still crappy when it comes to low light shots). 2 things you can try: (1) set the Scene to Low Light (it's the 3rd setting button from the left), and (2) try increasing the exposure.

As stated above those are your best options. Low light pics with this phone are not the best.

Thanks. I will try.

As an advanced amateur photographer, I am not impressed with the camera on the Maxx. On my wife's iPhone 4s, now that's a camera! However, I am not disappointed as I bought the phone to be used as, well, a phone! I think of the camera as something to have when I needed a quick pic and don't have my Nikon which is 100x heavier and 100x bulkier.

Would I love to have the camera on the iPhone 4s, sure but I can't run the 4s w/o charging every day.
