Low light settings, there will be more in the second part in a few days. Use a slower shutter speed, but not so slow that your hand movement (or moving subject) blurs the photos. Also use a higher ISO sensitivity setting; but be careful not to go TOO high or your images will look grainy (especially in dark areas). Pocket cams' flashes are often too strong, from what I've found. I always turn the flash down a few steps if possible. Unfortunately on my Canon SD1000 you have to do that every time you power the camera back on :-/ There's a great hack for Canon pocket cams called CHDK if you are a geek like me: http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK Hi Hezamarie, thanks!
