When there is no light, it's very difficult to have a picture unless a flash is used. Unfortunately, the flash duration is too short for the camera to focus and the focus has to be acquired before the shutter will open. If you want to take pictures of people that are in the dark, the only way to do it is to manually set your focus to around 8-12 feet (camera in manual focus) and then use the flash with a high enough iso to have enough depth of field to cover your subjects. I used to take pictures in discos with film many moons ago and this was my technique: Pre-focus and then forget about it, point and shoot with flash. You win some and then loose some… Welcome to the Forum and enjoy your Nikon!</blockquote>
