First tell us waht settings you have used. Make sure the
AF-illuminator is on. Set Tv (shutter speed) mode and set a reasonable
shutter speed like 1/25 s or faster. Bump up the iso as needed to get
the apeture smaller (larger F-stop) if desired. You'll also want to
enable high iso NR if bumbing the iso and shooting directly to jpgs.

I think you meant the other way round: large aperture (small F-number
because it's a fraction "f/....").

It is *so* "1990s" to expect a user to learn anything about the equipment
he/she needs to use. We get it at work all the time with computer users. When
you try to explain something to a user, the usual dismissal is "I'm not
technical". But occasionally I'll get a user honest enough to say, "Bob, I
don't *want* to learn anything about the computer. I just want to use it."

Its a shame because of most all cameras unused potentail, the operator
is the limiting factor. He thinks because he spent near 1000$ he
deserves 1000$ pictures by turning it on and pressing the button. We
should be telling him he needs a 5d and L glass.

No, I meant smaller apertures to get more depth of field. By default
in shutter priority mode it should have the aperture wide open in a
dim environment. If you want proper expeosure with more dof you need
to bump up the iso. If this were a Nikon, it is much easier to use
aperture priority and auto-iso to conrol this automatically for you.
