This comes from the f2.8-5.8 shown on the lens?

Okay, you got me here. How do I figure out the shutter speed on this puppy?

...You shot in program auto, I would suggest shooting in aperture priority. The biggest problem with the picture is the flash, typically you should avoid using a flash with the style of camera you're using. You also want to use a manual white balance setting.- Adjust WB to preset manual
- shoot in aperture priority with the highest f number while still maintaining a fast enough shutter speed to prevent hand shake and motion blur.
- Flash off
- You can bump up the iso a little and adjust the exposure compensation a little in the negative to get a faster shoot while maintaining DOF.

I can't seem to find an (obvious) Shutter/Aperture Priority choice on this model - is there a mode setting that is called something different by Sony?
If I don't use the flash, do I still want to the smallest ASA/ISO possible to maximize my DOF?
WB camera options:
- auto
- daylight
- cloudy
- Flourescent Light 1 white
- FL 2 natural white
- FL 3 day white
- Incandescent
- flash
Do I want to chose one that matches the lighting or just experiment?
I sure miss having a decent SLR with properly named & easy to decipher settings
