Jitter problems with new FZ3

[jpz4315]

I have recently purchased a FZ3 and been trying to take action sports shots inside gymnasiums. I am an amateur so please bear with me. All my shots seem to be blurry and not able to stop the action. :confused: The camera has been great except for this problem. I think that I don't have enough light to use a quick enough shutter speed. Any ideas on how to solve this problem? This is my first digital camera, I formally used a Pentax SLR with a flash and had pretty good success. Will the FZ3 work in these conditions or do I need to take it back and try a different camera? And if so, any suggestions as to which one. I'm really frustrated with my digital experience so far and would greatly appreciate some advice. Thanks!!

Here is a link to some good shots of a basket ball game and the exif info taken with a FZ20. Which should give similar results to the FZ3.
These are all ISO 200

And if this link will work you should find more info

Could you tell us what mode and what ISO setting you are using?

I was in sports mode most of the time, not sure of the iso setting. I will be taking some more at a ball game tonight, so I will watch my settings.
Thanks for the help!!

I think I would try increasing the ISO and shooting in manual mode, with aperture wide open which should allow as high a shutter speed as possible.
Let us know how they come out...
