[QUOTE="Krs_2007, post: 155556, member: 12948"] Just to add to what's been said only because I recently ran into this. The curtain color/backdrop will also play a key role. If its a black curtain or dark backdrop then it will overexpose your pictures. Definitely take test shots and ask if the lights will be the same during the rehearsal. ISO up, shutter speed as fast as you can get it to prevent blur. I had issues that I wasnt expecting shooting an f/4 lens. if you can get your hands on a faster lens then I would go that route or get really close and make sure you use the widest aperture you can obtain with your current lens. Due to uncertainty I would shoot RAW so you can adjust white balance and remove noise easier in your post-processing. The event I shot was an awards ceremony and I wasn't happy with my results, but I learned a lot. Also if your going to be in one spot I would take a tripod or monopod to steady the camera. Good luck, you have great advice from great people. Take your time, take your test shots and try to enjoy the performance. [/QUOTE]
