If not It's manual I'm afraid.<br />As a Start keep ISO low 100/200. f5.6 is a good start point you need a wide aperture.<br />You also won't be able to combine images into trails using his method but it can be done with Elements. I can tell you how to do it.<br />If you just get one exposure of your house with lights on then turn them off for the rest. Better still find an empty house or ruin, you can play a torch over it. or wander round inside....passes an evening on wonderfully.<br />If you want circular trails then point the camera south. You don't have the equivalent of polaris so all stars will move.
