Pictures of lights at night-Which settings?

[apollo13]

Hi Guys,

I'm a complete no starter when it comes to cameras 

I'm trying to get some good shots of my car at night but the lights come out as a blur.

I have a Sony H10, could anyone tell me what settings I'm after?

TIA

First thing you need it a tripod.

Hi Rich,

I understand that keeping movement to a minimum is a key point, I can (just to practice) place the camera on the front wall to keep it steady but I'm stuck on the settings.

Cameras manual is a distant memory so I thought I'd ask on here first

Put it in the P mode and just experiment... youll soon see the effect of the different settings.
 
(lame response, but trial and error is a good [if a little slow] way of learning which settings work best)

A remote shutter release goes a long way too

Not lame at all Rich, I value the input 

I'll have a fiddle later
