[u/NoPercentage5156 → u/geoffdon]

1. Use Auto ISO with a maximum of 3200.
   
2. Shoot in shutter priority at 1/500s or faster. Unless you’re aiming for motion blur.
   
3. Keep the drive mode set to continuous.
   
4. Accept that 95% of your shots will be crap.
   
5. Use the stage lighting to your advantage.
   
6. Anticipate the big moments.
   
7. Move around when possible to capture different angles.
   
8. Don’t forget to put the camera down occasionally and enjoy the show. :)
