[QUOTE="Nana39, post: 600842, member: 43103"] I'm talking about traditional Cyprus dances. Lots of jumps, quick turns, fast moving of hands, lots of synchronized moves (i.e. four people jumping at the same time.) Usually 4 - 10 people are on the stage at the same time. Keep in mind, I'm not looking for professional results yet, as I'm not a pro (yet). I only got my first camera two months ago. I have no problem with experimenting, and I do experiment almost every day, plus I watch tutorials and read articles. However, photographing moving objects at low light conditions is something that lots of people are having trouble with. All the articles suggest different solutions. They don't ever agree as to which setting is more suitable - is it S, A or M? So it would be nice if I at least knew where to START, so I can take it from there myself. I'm not looking for an easy answer, I'm looking for a starting point. Anyway, since I am not able to change the light and I don't own an external flash, I have decided that next time I will try the following: 1. Set my camera to S 2. Make sure the AUTO ISO is set to max 6400 3. Start with a shutter speed of 500 and take it up from there if necessary 4. Increase my EC to +1 or +2 if necessary 5. Set my camera on continuous to take multiple shots [/QUOTE]
