    I had a very quick look and it seems the camera does have a built in flash. If it isn't firing and you haven't turned it off in the menus then it's time to take it back to where you bought it.

    It may be a fact that being indoors is sometimes darker than out, it still doesn't help me finding out how to achieve a better photo.

    I think that he might be right I have a DSLR and it is very rare you can take a good picture in doors unless the subject is static. What subject matter are you trying to photograph also what setting have you got your camera on.

    One of the things to learn in photography is the limitations of the camera and when you can and when you can’t get good results.

    It's time to bite the bullet and read the manual.

    You either have to use flash or

    Use night mode with a long shutter time
    Ensure DIS (Digital Image Stabilisation) is switched on.
    Wind up the ISO several notches as well

    Unless the subject is static even that won't get you a good picture.
