(use apeture settings like f/5.6 , f/8 and shutter speed 4-16 sec)
- always use M mode

Sorry for being ignorant but how do u check the exposure...
the LCD is rather small to really note the exposure or
issit to look at the small itsy little exposure graph?
Thanx!

By using the M mode, you actually tell the camera what to do by dialling in the shutter speed and aperture value you desire. These will show on your LCD panel. For night outings, unless your LCD has a backlight, I would recommend to bring a small maglite along.
