Canon PowerShot SX520 HS

Hello, I just bought this SX520 last weekend because my Nikon D80 broke and I needed SOMETHING to take a few pictures of my kid's birthday party.  I noticed that many of the photos seemed as if they were shot with a low quality setting like a cheap cellphone camera or something.  I messed around in the camera's menu settings but didn't see any options for changing the picture quality.  Does anyone know how to take sharper, better quality photos with this thing?  Please help.

Did you use AUTO mode, almost anything would be better than that.
