take some sample pics under the same lighting conditions, and post here so we can see what you're talking about... the object can be of anything.

i'm curious to see how bad they're coming out for you. at first i was going to say don't expect good results under really low light, but 5' is pretty close. The camera shines in daylight and indoor upclose, but it can be very difficult to take pictures at night or under lowlight :/
