Unfortunately this camcorder simply doesn't perform very well in low light situations. The only thing you can do is increase the lighting if you're indoors.
Here's a clip from a review:
"If the VG30 has one problem it's that the 18-200mm kit lens isn't superb in low light. It's an f/3.5 lens at its widest aperture, which is quite a bit slower than your average consumer camcorder with a built-in lens (most of which are as fast as f/1.8 these days). This means you won't be able to get a clear image in a low light environment unless you bring an artificial light source or buy a faster lens."
