don't know these cameras very well, but the basics are

- set to the lowest ISO and make sure any "auto iso" is off so the camera doesn't crank it back up to make up for low light

- add a neutral density filter or at least polarizer to cut down the light, use tape if you have to to mount it

- mount camera on tripod, set the aperture to f22 or something similarly dark and have the camera meter the exposure time

- use self timer to take the shot so you don't have to touch it
