Thanks Ella!
'high-speed burst', a Class 6 card, and let the camera sort the rest of it out. You really don't need to adjust anything else. If you take 1,000 pics, about 70-100 will be alright, so the trick is to shoot a lot!
And no, it's a fixed lens camera so you shouldn't ever have a problem at the door.
Also, I've just remembered another detail: I've never used flash, not ever.
