What is the best setting for Nikon D80 concert shooting?

Don't turn on the flash unless it is in front of the stage 10 meter, which will have no effect and affect the exposure judgment.

First of all, you have to make sure that a large proportion of people can be photographed in the lens, so you need a long lens. If the focal length can reach 300mm, ordinary venues should be able to shoot clear people. 80 ~ 200 mm lens is also acceptable. When shooting, just choose the correct focal length according to the actual distance (turn the focus ring to make the image bigger and smaller), and the lens will focus automatically. Another, turn the aperture to the maximum. The aperture is a rotatable ring on the lens, which says F. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture. Choosing a large aperture can let in more light, so that you can shoot clearly at night.

The faster the speed, the better, because the faster the light transmission time, the less exposure, and the indoor light should be insufficient, so the shutter speed is between 1/60 and 1/200, and the sensitivity is at least 200, usually 400 or 800 (I also used 3200, but the higher the image, the worse). In the case of clear shooting, it is recommended to use slow speed (but not less than half of the focal length of the lens) and low sensitivity.

Continuous shooting had better not be used in the case of insufficient light, because continuous shooting needs high speed, but the exposure is insufficient. If the camera shoots forcibly, it will start at a low speed and the result will be blurred.

There are two supplements. You can try fluorescent lamps for the setting of light-white balance, so that people's faces will be rosy and not livid. If you have a tripod, you must take it with you. Don't open its feet. Putting three feet together to become a monopod (not occupying a position) is helpful for shooting, but because actors can move, the speed should not be too slow. Sensitivity is also at least 200. Follow the path, "follow the shot." When an actor is running, he should not press the shutter hard, but half press the shutter. After the focal frame appears, the camera will follow the actor for a while before shooting! This is very practical for shooting moving objects, even if he is running wildly, he can shoot clearly, but the light and speed still depend on factors.

I'll trouble you again, don't use P mode. It is better to use automatic mode than P mode, and use M (full manual) or S (manual speed change) mode.
