If you have the option to manually set your white balance, do it. And if you can override the exposure with some type of exposure compensation, you want to under expose by @ -1.0 to -1.7 stops (maybe -2 stops if they are in a really bright spot light). This will be based on metering that is similar to Nikon's matrix metering (where it reads the entire area within the viewfinder). It will vary depending on whether a person is in a brighter lit area of the stage or a lesser lit area. If a person is in the shadows, then you need to adjust it accordingly and not have it under exposed much, if at all. Haven't used focus tracking so I can't offer you any suggestions there.</blockquote>
