Hi guys anyone care to share what setting do you use when shooting a person in a dark area and night shots? Im also going to try shooting the moon.

I tried using NIGHT PORTRAIT result in person too bright and background too dark, i wish to set it to have enough light to show a portrait taken at night.

I tried using SCENE MODE //STARRY SKY result in < Sleepless @ sentosa P1030082_L >
<too bright >

M MODE F8.0 8 ISO100 result in < Sleepless @ sentosa P1030084_L >
< A little dark >

What are your settings

you can use party mode but watch out if the iso settings default to 200.
else use S mode, set shutter speed to 1/4, switch to lowest iso.
use flash if you want, set flash power to -1.
