Noise is more apparent at large sizes on the cheaper...

So on TV you only have to worry about setting the shutter speed and ISO and the camera does the rest? For a newbie is this the mode you'd recommend to start with for shows?

^ I had to have a go at Ultraviolet though. Bad lighting, engulfed in smoke, but that laser suit was just TOO COOL! Results weren't too good, but I must say they were interesting.

So if I go with tv, no flash, continuous focus ( with shutter button half press) shutter speed 1/125 abd iso 400,if things look blurred or not crisp would you raise the iso or shutter or both?

Thanks Sicy, yes I already read those threads, I know im coming across as annoying for many, but really I haven't found what im looking for... what im trying to ask is if anyone on here has sat right about where my section is and what their view about these seats are... Like I mentioned im reading mixed comments, some which worry me, these tickets my parents have purchased as a gift for me are not cheap and I don't wanna be sitting...

Results weren't too good, but I must say they were interesting. Oh yes! I have to explain those pix to everyone, but they're so...pretty! Have you figured a setting that'll give you the lasers? Mine came out all purple and red but the thin laser lights were lost. I noticed on...
