Quick Digital Camera Tip

I was taking some pictures yesterday and expressing some frustrating about lighting with a simple point & shoot digital camera.  I know a little about photography, but I am no expert.  However, my brother is a great photographer and has a gift as well as a better knowledge of the craft.  Upon hearing my lighting frustrations he gave me a pretty simple, but effective piece of advice - turn off your flash.  We were indoors, in a gym, with pretty weak lighting.  I was also shooting a distance and having trouble getting good lighting on the shots, which were pretty dark.  He told me I would be better off turning off the flash, which should help illuminate my shots by taking in more natural light.  He was absolutely right.
