I'm not sure how it got into night scene. It did flash but as noted above the battery was indeed very low. I set the auto focus to AF.S. Also as suggested I've had my nose in the manual ever since. I've attached the two photos I took just before the three in question. I don't know if that will provide any further info on why the shutter speed was where it was. What I have learned is I need to learn how to use this camera not in the auto mode.
Thank you all for the reply's and info.
Tom

I'm very new to a DSLR so please bear with me. I was at a birthday party last night and I wanted to give my new K-30 some work. One of the many things I did wrong was shoot in auto, I feel shame. I just don't have a good enough understanding how the modes yet to wonder into them. Individually I understand ISO, Aperture, a basic understanding of shutter speed. I know my composition sucks but if we could just stick to why the image is blurred I would appreciate it. I've moved the auto focus to the center dot. I focused on my niece on the right in the AFS setting and held down the shutter half way moved to the center of the girls and fully released it. I tried more then the 3 you see here. I was under the understanding the camera would hold the focus point. Perhaps I let up and did not notice but it seems to have focused on the leather couch they are sitting on and not the girls. Several tries latter it would not shoot at all. I don't know if it was confused my own stupidity or perhaps charging the flash. Needless to say I was not happy about the results. Some of the other images i took came out ok (great for me but sad compared to most of the images I see posted here). If it helps I shot it with the flash on and in RAW+. Things I would like to know.
1. How did I screw up something as simple as focus on an auto focus camera.
2. How would you as a much more experienced photographer taken this picture with this equipment. Mode settings ect.
Thanks in advance for the critique.
Tom
P.S. The Shutter speed on all three images is 0.3. It is not in the pull down menu.
