Shooting live concert footage -dvx

[stinkpot]

I know this has been discussed before but I can't seem to find the thread...

What might be the optimal settings for shooting live concert footage (medium sized club with decent stage lighting)?

Camera will be DVX100b, prefer to shoot in 24pa, mostly handheld.

Any setting or a link to the proverbial "live-concert-camera-settings" post would be much appreciated.

. be careful with reds. in live concerts you often find way too much red, and that doesnt behave too well on DV video.

. I've used the standard cinelike_d setting and it performed very well. lights tend to change very quickly, tipycally ouyt of your control, so i would recommend not using the standard cinelike setting.

. in most cases you can reasonably use the 3.2k preset for white balance, but that may vary
