I have no experience with the cool pix camera. If I remember right it is a digital? With regular film camera's, it's a function of available light. I'm sure it's the same with the cool pix. If it were a film camera I would load a faster speed film (800 asa) and try to find something (a tripod, a friends shoulder) to stablize yourself when you snap. Your pictures are blurry because you are moving the camera (even slightly) while the camera selects a very slow shutter speed to compensate for low light. You can't control the light so you will have to 1)stabilize the camera 2) or use a faster speed film, or both. If you can translate that to a digital camera you'll have a better chance. I bet the camera manual goes into this.
