...You could brighten your outdoor night shots? Capturing adequately lit and detailed photos after sunset is always a challenge. But a few tricks can help you achieve better-looking night scenes. If your camera offers it, choose the Night Mode setting. If your model does not have that setting but does have some basic manual features, navigate the camera's menu and change the ISO to the highest possible setting--for example, to 400 or 800. Now adjust the aperture to the lowest number, which typically is f/2.8, and reduce the shutter speed to 1/60 of a second or so. Turn off the flash and mount the camera on a tripod to eliminate movement. If you don't have a tripod, prop the camera against a flat, stationary object such as a table, a bench, or a ledge.
