Set your iso as low as you can, most cameras are around 100 for their lowest now I would set my aperture around F5-F8 helps if theres no other lighting around (atleast for those lightning shots) just keep experiementing, change settings, tweak something hear something there. Your not out any film either way lol Also this is all for a DSLR camera, not sure if the same stuff will apply on a P&S
