Initially many of us get biased to Auto mode in digital cameras.
Then would face a situation where the light is low and our auto mode is not intelligent to provide enough light for the picture.
So, let's see what we can do
OK, first step is to come out of auto mode and move the dial to P mode.
Don't worry, with the default settings this is just like your auto mode and at the same time it gives a space to apply your taste and intelligence.
(It is called P mode in Canon and Nikon, I don't know about other cameras. But you will find a similar mode, which will be usually next to auto mode)
In this mode, for our scenario(low light) you will get three things to play around.
1. Exposure
2. Flash Power
3. ISO.
Just make sure white balance = AWB & My Colors = Off/Natural, you can change these later.
First choose the flash mode to 'always fire' out of the 3-4 options(Auto, always fire, no flash, etc).
Next adjust the following settings. Experiment one by one and later use combinations.
Exposure: It basically controls the amount of light entering camera sensor. Increase it to give your picture brighter. Increase it by steps and take photos for each steps and see the difference.
Flash Power: As the name says it controls power of flash light. You can increase the power based on your brightness requirement.
ISO: This is the sensitivity value of sensor. It usually varies from 80-1600.
For lower light you will need higher ISOs. But I do not recommend ISO more than 400 because as it increases the sharpness of picture reduces.
So, keep ISO in 200 and try to manage with the first two options(Exposure and Flash).
If it doesn't work, increase ISO.
Wish this help you...
