A lot depends on the camera, mine is an oldish but good quality Canon G5.
It has pretty much all the functions and modes that an SLR has, but in a semi-compact body.
I use the manual mode for these shots, and also turn off the auto focus, when you have a very small aperture setting to allow the long exposure, things stay in focus better because of the greater depth of field (I think I got that right !!)
Its a bit like the old pin-hole camera idea.
