Settings for gigs/clubs?

mike @ January 5, 2009

  • Hey all. Whats the best settings for doing club venues? i got canon 450D with kit lens and 50mm f1.8, cheers in advance.


  • Stabo
    If you are unfamilar with what settings to use I recommend using P mode, with auto white balance, and shooting in the not cooked way. When you're done with the gig go home and look at the image information and see what your camera did. You should study exposure as well.

    if you dont know what settings to use than recommending manual is probably the worst thing for you to do. Your camera needs to become an extension of your hand...manual has to become second nature.

    start taking your camera out on dates, snuggle with it, master it, and all that jazz.


  • The best settings are the ones that give you the exposure that you want with the lighting that you have.

    We can't answer this for you.


  • Manual.


  • 1/250 of a second is your shutter
    ISO is your sensitivity to light
    Flash Exposure Control between 2/3 and 1 and 2/3

    I might have something wrong there but also might not have worded it technical enough...I'm hungry and I want cookie anyways


  • I think if you do a search you will find plenty of threads that can point you in the right direction.

    I think I just saw one as recently as a couple of days ago.


  • 1/250, f/8, ISO 100, FEC +2/3 - +1 2/3, pointed up, and depending on ceiling color and height.

    Decipher that and I'll give you a cookie.
