It'll get you about 80% of the way - but to truly shine in this challenging field, you need to understand when to fine-tune your settings, you'll need to understand why these settings are so crucial and what they actually do, and you'll also need to learn a few additional camera settings to consider."
"Selecting the perfect camera settings is a key part of capturing awesome concert photos, especially in low-light situations. If you get your settings right, the results will be spectacular: crisp, clear, and full of detail. That's why, in this article, I'm going to share 12 settings for concert photography."
Concert photography requires optimizing exposure, focus, and noise control to produce crisp images in low light. Use RAW and manual mode to control exposure and preserve image data. Employ a wide aperture and reasonably fast shutter speed to balance light and freeze motion, while raising ISO to maintain exposure. Enable image stabilization, auto white balance, spot metering, back-button AF, and burst mode to maximize focus accuracy and capture decisive moments. Adjust settings for each performance's lighting and genre, as rock, symphony, and jazz demand different approaches.
