The camera has recently been displaying the flashing "RED HAND" constantly now. All pics taken now are all blurry. Is there something that I need to change in the settings, or would it require to be submitted for repair?
You might have the camera set to an inappropriate 'scene' mode. If you
are using 'landscape' or 'snow' for an indoor or night shot for
example, the camera will select a slow shutter speed which will
increase the chance of blur - hence the warning.
If you keep the selector switch all the way to the left (auto mode) you
should be fine in most situations. Only use the 'scene' modes for
specific purposes.

This probably indicates that the selected shutter speed is too slow for hand-holding, and any images may suffer from camera shake. You can increase the shutter speed (maybe by selecting a higher ISO setting), use a support (a monopod or a tripod), or use flash.
The flashing red light is warning you that the shutter speed will be too long for handholding the camera. Put the camera on a tripod or other stable surface, and/or use the flash.
Just to the left of the [OK] button, there is a button with a symbol that sort of looks like a clock with one hand... that is the timer button. Press that -- you should see a timer symbol appear on your display. After you press the shutter button, the picture will be taken in about 10 seconds.
