Does it work good during the dark, or indoors, in regards to pictures with and without flash..? thanks

It takes very good pictures. You need to have the auto flash on in dim light but the pictures come out well.

Compared to prior point & shoot camera's I had, this camera wasn't as good in low light an indoor, even with flash. I was disappointed with the quality of the pics.

Very good in low light situations - rarely have to use the flash indoors-eh!!

Low light pictures are excellent with this camera. I took a couple of pictures with my dog walking around under low light without flash. They came out fine

Miss Woracheck: I take a lot of my indoor pictures without flash, but always include at least one with flash. Work with the camera settings--"Auto Flash," "Flash On," Flash Off," etc., and check out how the Portrait setting changes things. You have a wonderful camera and it has more features than so far I have used. Best wishes.

I used it to take photos for E-Bay but only under controlled light conditions. Using normal ambient indoor lighting did not work well for me and the flash created shadows. Ultimately got rid of this camera so don't know if an external flash can be attached - sorry.

it was pretty great, but in dark rooms no there is not much to do in dark,clarity is great but when zooming in or out while recording it may at times became blurry for a sec, battery wise is great it runs good I'm not so sure but maybe anywhere from 2 hrs constant use to 6 hrs if are not using much in the day.

Like all cameras, using a flash indoors is helpful in getting a properly exposed shot. There are flash units that will work with this camera (it has a hot shoe on top) The problem with flash on any camera is that it tends to be harsh, which is why many photographers prefer using the available light. This camera can take better pictures indoors than the typical point and shoot camera, but the results are not as good as with a newer camera such as the Olympus E-PM2 or E-PL5.

Hi there, I own this camera since this April and took around 8000 pics since, about half of them in very low light. With this camera, you do not even need to use the flash in 99.9% of the cases. (this is why I chose this camera in the first place) In case it's really dark and you don't have any lightsource, you can use the flash and it is sufficiently strong so your photos will look good. But usually, you really don't need the flash at all. I made perfect shots (photo and video) in dark dimmed pubs as well as beautiful nightshots walking around NYC all without using the flash. But if you insist, it's there, and it's perfectly fine.

I myself haven't tried it with flash because I don't use flash that much. I have read that is works well with flash. I have tricky lighting in my house where I have large windows, fluorescent light, and tungsten light. It works really well for that.

Nope, no flash. Pictures in poor light are blurry from movement, and nearly half of the pictures my daughter takes are black. If I had it to do over I would get her a cheap "real" camera. She still enjoys it, but mostly for the penguin puzzle game that's on it.

It must have a flash because my grandaughter takes pictures indoors. They are a little dark but you can see them.

Have you tried changing the ISO (the equivalent of film speed)? Perhaps it's set too low. I'd try either 400 or 800 if you're shooting indoors. Also try either the sports mode or night (not night tripod) in the Scene Position. I've had no problems with shooting indoors without flash and I get pretty good pics. If the lighting is extremely low, I prop the camera on something. If the kids are moving fast, either use flash or the settings I mentioned above. I've not had any problems with the picture quality indoors with mine. Hope this helps.

I have only used it in low light conditions at home, it takes decent pictures.

I agree that the camera does not work well at all in the dark but is fine in daylight and hope that will be upgraded or improved in future versions. Other cameras might work better for night but mine does go off if senses motion.

I have not experienced a problem with flash lighting. I have taken several hundreds of pictures in various lighting conditions, but I can't remember and problems with flash lighting.

I think it does. The flash is automatic but it has an extra feature that can make it even brighter. Even in dark places, I've been able to take good, clear pictures. Just practice.

Nice camera! Yes, it will work. I find in most situations it works best in constant on rather than in flash mode.
