Many cameras have a manual exposure setting where one can set the shutter speed and F stop. If you are finding that you do not have enough light increase the ISO from say 100 to 400 or even 800 to achieve a higher F stop or shutter speed when in manual mode.
A quick way to see if your image is more or less properly exposed is to used a card that is half white and half black. When looking at the histogram both ends should be within the display.
Or adjust the exposure compensation for images with auto exposure. Some allow a +/-5EV range.
Check your manual for tips on using the camera for images that do not use automatic exposure control or setting the EV range.
