My camera is a Canon PowerShot S110. It was marketed overseas as the iXus V. I think there are probably a lot of people in this forum who have the same or similar model, so I'll ask here before trying photography forums.

Without flash, this camera takes poor low-light pictures. Even with flash, the subject has to be very close to the lens in order for the flash to have any effect at all.

Setting the camera to "Manual" mode and adjusting the exposure control up and down seems to have zero effect.

Any tips?
