[QUOTE="robbins.photo, post: 600670, member: 27043"] Ok, more than likely your flash will not be of much help unless you can get very close to the performers. So, my recommendations. First, turn the flash off. Second, go into the menus and set Auto ISO on, and set a max ISO to say 3200 or 6400. Higher max ISO will mean more noise, so you'll probably need to do some more noise reduction in post. Third, shoot in shutter priority mode. This allows you to control your shutter speeds, the camera will automatically select the aperture for the lens, which will most likely be wide open. As to shutter speed, this one gets a bit tricky - you want as fast a shutter speed as you can based on the type of action your capturing. I'd probably start at 1/500 - take some test shots, see how that works. For very fast movement you may want to go higher, if that seems to be stopping the action ok maybe lower to see if you can get the ISO down and have less noise to deal with after the fact. If possible shoot in RAW so you can compensate better for images that are underexposed. [/QUOTE]
