My night shots are troubleWhat camera features are most important for taking night photos?
Clarification Request

This camera is a very simple point and shoot camera. All of the special features you have mentioned don't apply. ISO numbers on a camera? That's a digital thing not a film thing. The film has the ISO numbers and the camera accommodates them. However, this camera is so automatic, that there is no way to fiddle the ISO numbers like on a regular SLR. I expect that there has to be a way to use fill flash - that is what I keep hearing at other sites - and one of the settings on the dial on the back of the camera. Beyond that, I expect this camera will not do well with night photography without going to high ISO number film and that has its own grain issues. The user also has no way of knowing whether the camera is putting the f stop as the priority and then slowing the shutter down or visa versa. That makes it very hard to do much of anything special with this auto focusing point and shoot camera. Can you add anything that would indicate the specific settings on the dial on the back of this camera that would help?

High ISO numbers. Cameras with higher ISO numbers require less light for exposures. This means, you can take your night photo with a faster shutter speed and still get the same result (taking night photos with high ISO can result in noise, which impacts the overall image quality).
An allowance for long exposures. Long exposures allow the shutter to be open longer to absorb the available light.
Image stabilization features. This prevents movement during long exposures. Night scene mode, if it is available. This setting automatically provides low-light settings and doesn?t require you to manually modify the settings. This option is good for beginners who are still learning about the different available exposure options.
Noise reduction mode. Long exposures often allow noise ? or grain ? into your photo. Rather than use photo manipulation software to remove the noise, this setting automatically removes it for you.
