I have just been told my grandkids will be singing at a Christmas Concert at Church tonight. I am sure the stage will have some lights, decoration lights etc but will be basically dark. The seating area will be dark and I am told no flash.

For you experts what ISO and aperture should I be using? I won’t have a tripod and the kids wouldn’t sit still enough if I used a tripod.

I know this is late notice but if anyone is around I would take all the help I can get!

Take the fastest glass you have that will cover the reach you'll need, shoot wide open with auto ISO. If there is more than enough light for that you could start dialing back on ISO and aperture for cleaner images and more DOF

Glad to hear that! Can you post a couple picts?

Here is a couple pics. I used my 18-55mm lens. Wished I could have sat closer. My 55-300 is a slow poor lens so I didn’t use it at first but did later. Should have sat in the back and used my 80-400 with a Tripod.
