Sony DigiCam Question
 
I leave tomorrow for Europe and just picked up a new Sony DSC W300 to take on the trip. I have had Nikon's in the past and kind of assumed that I would find a feature on my Sony that I loved on my Nikon: a museum setting that disabled the flash and took pretty good pictures in museums.

I'll try to read the manuals on the way over, but is anyone familiar with this line of Sony's enough to tell me if there is an equivalent setting? Is it simply turning off the flash and using the camera as I normally would with all of the auto-settings?

I'm not particularly familiar with the Nikon feature but there are only so many things it can do in that mode:
Disable flash
Increase ISO
Force wider aperture

Other than those things I don't know what a camera would do to handle the lower light any better. The first two should be pretty easy to do on the Sony, and the third should happen as well as it can when you try to take a picture.
