Camera settings




I have been using my digital camera to take photos of my children. There is something going on that I don't understand, I took the first photo below and then I wanted to reshoot my daughter without such a big smile. I put her in the same exact place just 20 minutes after the first shot and look how much darker it came out. I used the exact same settings.

My camera is a Canon PowerShot s30. I just learned about the 'white balance' so I had set that. I also set the speed at 1/30 and the Fstop at 5.0. The sun was out in both shots, I used the same light inside.

The camera must be setting something automatically but I can't figure out what is left to set? This isn't the first time this has happened, hopefully somebody can tell me how I can correct this?

Thank you,

Joan
