Canon S100, tips on long exposure?

Bought a new canon powershot S100. Was hoping it would be like my old Canon A620. Trouble occurs taking long exposure shots--- I remember being able to take a long exposure shot in low light with 15 second exposure (max) with the old A620 and get gorgeous results... but with the new S100 I am getting pretty much BLACK shots while my co-explorer seems able to shoot an 8 second exposure (with his SLR) and get wonderful DAYLIGHT like conditions. For example out at hunters point shooting exterior of warehouses at night, cant see a damn thing.


Any tips to brighten these images (not photoshop)? ISO is constrained with the 15 second exposure, but maybe there is some other setting i can tweak? Or do I need to stop being a cheap bastard and get an SLR.... or maybe buy an old A620. I totally get this is a vague post, probably in the wrong category, but thanks for anything. merry christmas everyone.

What is the ISO setting and what is your aperture setting at? Open the aperture more and increase the ISO number and tell us what happens.

More info please.
Apatite setting?

Shooting manual? Or preset?
If preset, then which mode?

The S100 only allows ISO 80 on long exposures.

Pretty much why I just replaced mine with an LX7
