I want to take pics at gigs and have no idea what setting my camera should be on? Tried everything from manual to auto tonight and every pic was either washed out dull or way too dark or too much blur from camera shake.The venue Im taking the pics in makes using a tripod impossible.Close up with flash I do get Ok pics but that can be distracting for the artist,so Id prefer to learn to get decent pics without using flash if possible. Do I need to change white balance? ISO? Anything?? HELP! Please treat me as a complete idiot!! Im using a Fujifilm s7000z by the way.Thanks in advance.
