[QUOTE="Scott Murray, post: 124578, member: 9753"] This may be of help... [COLOR=#666666][FONT=Arial][B]Camera Settings:[/B] Every venue is different. Shoot in manual mode only – i usually use manual focus, but that’s not necessary, AF is ok. Open up the aperture as wide as it can go (ideally f1.8 or 1.4 – but you can work with other lenses with more light..flash or ambient) My usual settings: - 1/150 shutter - f1.8 aperture - ISO 800 or 1600 or 400[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#666666][FONT=Arial]Enough to freeze motion, but not override and flatten the ambient light.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#666666][FONT=Arial]If you’re shooting in a venue with absolutely no available light…or in ‘available darkness,’ and you need to use a flash. I normally shoot with direct flash from high above the left side of the camera. (Flash in my left hand) Settings are as follows: - F8 - 1/250 or 1/500 shutter - ISO 200 or 400. - Flash at 1/8th power. If there’s some cool ambient light going on, try something more like 1/150 shutter, f4, and a really low flash setting (1/64 or less)[/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
