It is frustrating, and almost futile, to try to capture lightnings with a point-and-shoot camera. But with some luck, you should be able to capture one or the tail end of one.

What I do normally, is to set the camera either in manual more or in shutter-priority mode. Then I set it to continuous shooting, press the shutter halfway and pointed it towards the sky where lightnings normally occur.

Then, as soon as the lightning strikes, I would press the shutter all the way, hoping that the camera had somehow captured the light. You need a lot of guesswork though. The pictures here are an example of my own guesswork.
