To achieve the best focus in low light conditions, secure the
camera to a tripod and make sure the focus area has sufficient
contrast.
To achieve the best exposure in low light conditions, turn on the
flash when the subject is less than 2 meters away. When the
subject or scenery is more than 2 meters away, turn the flash
off and secure the camera to a tripod to prevent blurring the
image. When the flash is turned off, the longer exposure will
make the image brighter.
