Taking photos at night with E500

[procreator]

How do I take pictures in low light or at night with the e500?

I set it up for auto-flash and auto-focus, but the images come out blurry. Seems like there should be an AF illuminator, but there doesn't appear to be.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

It would really help if you could post an example photo with all the EXIF (exposure) information still attached.

Did you want flash?
I shoot quite a few in Aperture priority and try different f stops to get different exposure times.

Try shooting manual
Put your camera on a tripod
Set the exposure (shutter speed) for 1/10th of a second - 10 seconds of exposure + and don't move the camera - not even a tiny bit and make sure your subjects are very still, too,

use a flash only if you want your foreground illuminated.

make sure the aperture is low, too, at least 5.6

It could be your shutter speed is to low? Even if you are using a flash you need to keep the shutter speed at 1/60 and higher. Post a couple of examples and maybe we can help more.
