    Settings for british motorshow

    I'm going later today with my 400d and kit lense. I'm thinking ISO400 but what should i be putting the white balance to?

    Thanks

    Won't that depend on the lighting? I'd have thought hi-intensity florescent might be best, but just take a light grey card and use that to set custom.

    Alternatively, shoot RAW and balance later.

    ISO400, so its not all that dark in there then? most indoor events are ISO1600 f2.8 1/250, a really well lit place you're looking ISO800 2.8 1/250

    so with kit lens ISO400 f3.5 you're looking 1/40ish

    Must have been quite bright then! I was shooting ISO400 and photos range from about 1/50 F4.5 upto 1/125 F7.1

    Not got anything that special from indoors but got some nice action shots from outside, i'll post some up later
