There are several ways to go about it.
Normally people would set the ISO to a higher figure, say 200 or 400, but not beyond that because pictures tend to be noisy.

Alternatively, assuming the picture is not that bad, I normally would increase the EV slightly. EVs in this camera can be adjusted from -2 to +2 EV in 1/3 EV steps.
You can start off using +1 and see how the picture turns out. This can then be fine tune to lesser figures to get the best picture.

Lastly, you can brighten the picture, increase contrast and so on using softwares that run in you computer.
A simple one to use will be Picasa2 which is free from Google.

Also if your subjects are backlit the camera may use a faster shutter speed causing picture to look too dark. same cure as above set ev + - 1 or 2 and see what happens.

If you're also relying on the camera's built in flash, understand that it is only designed for up close portraits, and beyond about 6 feet, the dissipation rate is so bad that you end up with an underexposed picture.
