[QUOTE="Ruidoso Bill, post: 460091, member: 753"] OK, just an update and lessons learned. I shot for over 3 hours last nice and I am returning to shoot the performance tonight. I had the auto iso ceiling set too high and it would run up to 12,800 and had some significant grain in the dark areas. I will set the ceiling at 3200 for tonight. Second mistake was not having the MB-D12 grip on it, I have gotten away from using the grip when I have the camera on a tripod for real estate photography and bracketing to keep every thing still, one battery lasts about 1 1/2 hours and then I got a red low battery alert on the display. Tonight I will have the grip on it and simply pull out the one on the grip and it switches to the one in the camera body and then change them both at intermission. I used my 70-200 and was near the back of the auditorium, The lens enable me to capture the entire stage and zoom in a little for some single dancers, very happy with the lens performance. I was using an external mike and had the camera sensitivity set at 15 and was using the -10 db switch on the mike but it was still a little hot a couple of times for the music levels, drop it down to 10 for tonight. I had the quality at normal and it wrote 8.5 GB to the card, no memory issues. The sensor never overheated so that was also a good thing. Anyway, lessons learned and should have a good night with the performance, last night was a dress rehearsal. [/QUOTE]
