As for the settings there are a lot of different things you can go for depending on which effect you want to achieve. Normally however the stage environment is relatively dark, so the camera needs to be set to admit as much light as possible. This means high ISO (800 and above) and wide aperture (f/4 and wider). Make sure you have a good and light fast lens, this will make all the difference. A good standard setting on Canon EOS cameras to start off with is the "Sports" mode, try that for a few shots and see how you like the results. Usually you will not be allowed to use a flash, also it destroys the mood and ambient lighting, so I would get used to living without it... Hope this helps! Cheers, Cliff. Hi Ola,

Just wondered what settings to best use on the camera in order not to get blurred images or overbrightened backgrounds. Manual setting =...........? ISO speed = ............? Canon rebels have AV, TV, P, Auto, Manual, AP... which setting is best? Cheers Ola Thanx for all the tips – very helpful.
