Cool! In order to keep the dslr’s lens out of the frame of the video, i mount my camcorder underneath the dslr when shooting stills and video at the same time, like this: vimeo.com/27676309#

I’m most likely late for this discussion but here’s preferred setup . . . I use Shutter Priority with Auto ISO and E-TTL. I trust my 7D’s low-light capabilities so I don’t worry even if that ISO rises up to 1600 or 3200 to get the exposure right – I don’t know I don’t really bother checking how high it goes. I usually get usable results anyway.

Previously, I would shoot with Aperture Priority like many of the respondents here do but, in many cases, the camera with set the shutter speed so slow, even at the widest aperture. I would get good exposures but motion blur would be totally unacceptable. So I gave Shutter Priority a try and found that I’m getting better results.

Sometimes I am compelled to shoot with Aperture Priority and Manual. For such situation where I have to toggle between the 3 modes, I simply register my settings for each mode into the camera’s 3 ‘C’ Modes.

HI. I’m not happy with it either. ISO 1600 is max I can go.. I will see, if new 5D III will be this year and wait for it.. Or maybe 1D mark IV or my favorite 1DX will be aking place in my bag :-)

Did this photographer say that he downloaded and selected photos whilst the dances were on? Wasn’t he concerned that he would miss oportunities to shoot?
