Best settings for a Low-Light stage performance (shot from afar!)

[mushyosh]

Hi,

I know its a really general question, but if you have any tips please let me know. In a couple of days I am going to shoot a stage performance which will be in low light. I will be doing a long shot of the entire stage.


I just want to know what you guys would adjust for low light shooting? Thanks.

i did the same thing last night...we shot using gain +3, shutter off, fully open and cinelike d..you can also lower your shutter to 1/36 using synchro scan to cheat a little more light..you could use a higher gain, but it really starts showing noise after +3. the best thing you can do is be friends with the light guy and ask him to cheat as much light in as possible...
