By low light, I mean anything other than flash or daylight. Low light includes any indoor shots without flash. Even shots with fluorescent office lighting.


You'd think your camera would be able to meter and give you a picture in light like this. What mode are you using to take pictures like this? If you are in some automatic mode you might try the "P" mode or "M" mode (adjust until the camera says the exposure should be right). Like you said though you will need a tripod to make any indoor shot with aritifical light stable- unless you can change your ISO setting to something fairly high like 400 or 800.
