Maybe its the light level - In strong sunlight, for example, practically any camera can take clear pictures. But small lenses and low pixel counts show their limitations more in low lighting, such as indoors, or outside after dark.

Clearly your camera is more intelligent than you, it knows it too and is taking the piss.
Take it out to the car park and show it who the boss is.
