Usually when I do them, I will end up having to take 5 or so images very still to get one that isn't fuzzy (my hands are not steady no matter how much I try)...
Have you tried also manipulating the ISO? (Uh, what does that stand for? Shutter speed? Film Speed? Something...) Anyway, I take a lot of pictures in natural light using ISO 400 and no flash, and it works great on my digicam. The pictures usually come out way better than if I had used the flash (which would have washed out the subjects).

On the other hand, if I want to take a picture of something in darkish light, I take the ISO down to 100 or 50 and do it without the flash. I've found that leaning against a pole or wall while taking the shot helps to cut down on the shakiness.

Sorry for the completely non-technical explanations: this is just what I've learned from trial-and-error on my digicam.
