4 people is not a lot - unless you are planning to take a picture with them standing one behind the other or in poor lighting! You should be able to take decent pics at apertures between f8-f16 with most any common lens.
Option 1:
-Place in P mode
-Half press the shutter and see if the Av value that you are seeing is at least 8 or higher.
-Check the shutter speed to see if it is at least 1/100 or faster:
-If so, simply shoot.
Option 2:
-Aperture priority- set to f8,
-ISO 100,
-look at what shutter speed you are getting:
From your question you sound like you are new to photography, so to keep things simpe, if the shutter speed is slower than 1/100, you may get camera shake and blurry pic.
-So will need to change the ISO,
-try ISO 200 or ISO 400 max on the K2000 camera. If the shutter speed is still slow you need to shoot where there is more light or use a tripod.
