I think this is definitely a possibility - although i had hoped auto mode would be better than it currently is in low light.

Any suggestions of a way to learn all the settings? I have the full manual but is there a good overall website or even a book that might help? I've been reading online about ISO, aperture and shutter speed so i'm hoping to give it all a try when i get home and see if i get better results.

I also need to remember to try it with the stabilization turned on. I turned it off on the first day after reading that it could cause issues. Might be worth a try to put it back on and see if there's a difference.

That's the happy result of the unwashed feeding urban myths. Stabilization is damn important on light cameras.

Other thing I suspect is that you let the camera autofocus anywhere. Choose a focus point and stick to that.

Shooting at home with the kit lens won't lead you anywhere. Aperture to small. You'll need a faster one, possibly a prime, even second hand.

I just bought the PM2 too and I am very happy with it, but I tailor suited to my needs.

A hint here:
