The amount of light in our homes may appear sufficient to our eyes as they automatically adjust. To a camera however, it's not nearly enough to make a proper exposure. Birthday parties are a great example as the lights are turned off for the cake and candles. In these low light situations, you'll often benefit from an ISO of 1600 or 3200.
