Here for comparison are 2 pics of Bast shot back to back. She was in the same location in both pics. It was so dark where she was that I could not see her at all without my flashlight. The 1st pic was shot in auto mode, the way I've been doing almost all of my pics up until now. The 2nd was done in S mode using the setting indicated above. Note that I did not have the luxury or option to focus in either case as again, without my flashlight I couldn't even tell if there WAS a raccoon over there. (I didn't have the flashlight on while taking the pic, only to check to see if she was there prior to shooting the pics.)

So here is auto mode.
