Wasn't happy with the quality next time I need to turn off auto iso and play around with the settings more.

Yes I had a tripod.

Not bad...get an good tripod, and start using manual mode, looking at the histogram to judge exposure...oh and shoot NEF's....you can tweek more without losing quality....you will need a RAW converter, I use Capture NX....

Yes I need to start using manual mode. Not sure of where to start what settings to start out with. Now that I have the settings that the nightmode used I can have something to work from. Definatly won't do iso 400, way to much noise or maybe just needed a slower shutter speed.
Any suggestions?
I want to do iso 100 or 200, the iso 400 shot's speed was 1/3 -1/4
Also auto white balance is off in low light being to blue and to red at very dark.

Get a book on photography....if you get a tripod, you wont need ISO's over 100...you can use long shutter speeds and wide apertures...use the meter..the camera will tell you whether you have a good exposure or not...the key is to expose for the subject without overexposing or underexposing the rest of the scene....If you shoot NEF's you can adjust the white balance after the fact to make sure its right.....

Those are nice pics homes. I have to take read up on what Newport is saying before I even attempt. Maybe I should get a camera first.
