Hey guys, just wonder which options do you guys use when shooting stage events. eg fashion shows etc.
do share if there are other settings you guys have.

If there is enough light, Av mode is good coz it gives a consistent DOF across all pics. If it gets too dark, the shutter speed drops, and you risk getting the movement streaking effect in your pics. Have to keep an eye on the shutter speed at all times when using this mode.Hey guys, just wonder which options do you guys use when shooting stage events. eg fashion shows etc.

have u used a PnS and shoot subjects in the dark with flash? subject will be well lit and background dark. same theory.What is problem to cause this effect with the build-in flash?
Actually there is enough light to snap with higher ISO or adjust the shutter and aperture
but dont know why using the build-in flash make the pictures - frontal light is harsh, hard shadows on surfaces behind the subject and background is too dark~~

provide more info (shooting settings) if you want people to help you.

Tv gives a "guaranteed" hand-holdability, but again, when the light falls, the camera just underexposes, and you'd have to trust the flash to meter the main subject correctly. Even when there is enough light, the aperture can vary quite a bit when the lighting changes, so the amount of background can vary a lot between the pics.
Manual gives a consistent DOF across the set and ensures a shutter speed that is high enough. If the flash system is recharging fast enough and metering is consistent, the results are consistent. However, the exposure can get thrown by reflective surfaces and underexpose. Also, if the lighting suddenly increases to more than 2 stops above the manual (fixed) setting, every shot will be badly overexposed. This can happen easily on say, a sudden strong spotlight on an individual with a dark curtain background.
There's no single correct answer. Have to understand how camera and flash metering works, and how to adapt to changing lighting.
