Best camera settings for bad lighting?

[2010BmwM3]

I was wondering if anyone had a good setting for low lighting. I was taking a few pictures last night with flash off in low lighting and they weren't that great. With flash on they looked kind of washed out. I may have been too drunk and it was fine, but I'm still curious.

Try holding down the camera button & allowing it to focus....then releasing it to snap the picture like a traditional camera and you'll get much better pictures. Raising the exposure to +1 has helped in some shots. Don't forget that you can edit each photo in the gallery by going into settings after you select a pic. You can brighten, change the saturation, remove red eye, etc...

Thanks for that. I officially love you now. I'm not really a picture person so I am clueless about all of the buttons and have never really cared to learn.
