SUMMARY: If you are a beginner, let your digital camera's presets help you take great night photos.
If you are a photography beginner and are just starting out taking photos at nighttime, check to see if your digital camera has a special night program or scene mode - read your camera manual. This mode will adjust your camera settings, tuning it to low-light conditions and possibly allowing you to take better night photos than if you were fumbling through other options. If you're not sure about adjusting exposure times and have no idea what ISO means, a one-touch setting may be all you need.
As you get more advanced in photography, ignore this program mode and use manual for best results.
