I am disappointed by the poor image quality of this camera in automatic mode. I gave it to my wife as a gift and she did not use it first until the 30-day return peroiod lapsed. The auto-exposure feature does not work well. It sets a very high ISO rating causing the flash not to flash indoors and the photo to be too grainy. The photo is good when the ISO is set to 100 manually, but then the flash is too weak to take anything but close-ups. A 200 ISO setting is a compromise which enables the flash to light the subject, but it more grainy than my Canon at ISO 200. In short, my wife prefers her film camera and does not want to fiddle with setting the ISO manually for a better photo.
