Night Vision setting for rock concert?


I have a Cannon EOS Rebel TI and it has a setting specifically meant for taking photos at night, would that work in a typical concert setting?

  Probably not. What the camera does is to set the flash on and use a slow shutter speed to record the ambient light. Slow shutter speed = blur motion pictures. I am assuming you cannot use the flash during the concert. One thing you can try is to use a high speed (professional) film, at least 800 speed. Set your camera to 'A' mode and select the maximum aperture (smallest number), select a single focus point (the middle one perhaps) and use the partial metering mode to focus at the subject. If there are spot light hitting the subject, the better. Shoot and cross your fingers ;)
