The stage indeed has a black backdrop, which the camera probably had a hard time compensating for with just a few dancers on stage. It is hard to practice and try different settings since I encounter this challenging lighting only once or twice a year. The L830 lacks full manual controls, but it does allow me to manually set the white balance, track a subject with the focus and of course adjust the exposure compensation. Which of these would most benefit my attention next time I have the opportunity to shoot a similarly lighted subject? Maybe all need to be controlled as much as possible? The L830, unfortunately, does not have full manual controls, so it looks like these variables are the only ones I can work with. Am I missing some other adjustment that could help?</p></blockquote><p></p>
