Outdoor Digital

I have a camera Canon S400 Digital ELPH. Night shots outdoors are too dark. What should I do?

The manual explains how to adjust the ISO speed and exposure compensation, etc., but not specifically for those who are my problem.

The first thing you should understand is that Flash is very limited, with nothing to bounce. Interior walls and ceilings that reflect and bounce the light. From which must occur within 10 feet of a correct exposure. The light fell very quickly and in a very short distance. There is a formula for mathmatatical but can not remember. Just realize that far only a few feet will be very underexposed and almost black. Built by lightning at any camera has this limitation. For that, you can buy a separate flash drive and use it for taking photos outside. Even with limitations, but you will more than double the distance between the flash. Norm
