The shaking thing really helps capture action in shady areas outdoors but indoor there is just too little light without the flash for it to be effective. It also helps when zoomed in very far outside, but this feautre is best suited for video cameras anyways. Go figure... The color differences are because the camera is on automatic mode and is changing the exposure for each area. Switch to manual, then find an exposure that works for most areas and then do the stitch thing, and everything should be more or less the same tone :)
