I hope this doesn't sound like too stupid of a question... but, I recently purchased a JVC gc-qx5hdu digital camera. When I shoot indoors, there are bright splotches on the subject. I am attaching an example. I am shooting on auto setting. Can anyone help?

Overexposure by the flash. You're too close to the subject for the auto-exposure to control the flash. Back up. If you want to take close-ups with flash then (if the camera allows) set a smaller aperture of f/8 to f/16, or (if the camera allows) dial in -1 or -2 flash exposure compensation when taking close-ups, or simply block/diffuse the flash light with a tissue.

Thank you so much John! I knew there was probably a very easy solution, just wasn't sure what. I am very new to photography and have a lot to learn. I obviously need to take a course. Thanks again. I truly appreciate your response!
