I believe I would turn off the auto ISO and try manual mode. The auto exposure algorithm is going to get fooled a lot in this situation. Use the image review with the histogram on, take test photos and adjust. If you set a reasonable ISO at 400, set f-stop at perhaps f/8 then just try to move the shutter speed to get the histogram to be centered. If the shutter speed gets too slow to hold steady, open the aperture to a lower f-stop. I bet you could shoot into lights most of the session without changing the exposure up or down much.Alternately in an auto-exposure mode you use the exposure compensation to brighten or darken, but you are still taking test shots to find the right amount.</blockquote>
