I've noticed that when I have my camera set to "P" Mode, that I get a flashing red camera icon in the lower left corner that I don't get when it's set to Auto.

That's the camera telling you that the shutter speed is so slow you're likely to get a blurry image due to movement. Looking at your EXIF, that's a realistic assessment.

Honestly, P mode doesn't really work well indoors, in my opinion, unless you manually set the ISO to a high enough value. An awareness of aperture, shutter speed and ISO is a guide to what you can expect when pressing the shutter release.

You say your images aren't as sharp as before. Is this also outdoors in good light? Have you checked if the lens is clean?
