   1. Find a place to put the camera. If you don’t have a tripod, put on top of a table or something else outdoors that isn’t moving.
   2. This camera takes pictures up to 15 seconds long. Take a picture at ISO 80 and 15 seconds and see how it comes out. Are you doing this during the day or night? At night, you should be good. During the day, this might come out too bright so shorten the time.
   3. Just keep taking pictures over and over facing the lighning until you get lucky.
   That’s the “brute force” way. The other way is to put it on a ISO or 200 and stand ready to take the picture when you see a lightning bolt.

   I tried getting fireworks pictures with that camera using the night scene setting but it didn’t work. I did take some close ups of a firepit with night scene and they turned out good.

   You have to be lucky. You’d be better off with a Canon Rebel.
