I'm about to go to my staff christmas party.
So all my shots are going to be indoor, with very low level lighting, and at certain points even no lighting just strobe lights for dancing.
My understanding of taking shots indoor and low lighting is Zero besides setting it to A and letting the camera do the work.
If i set it to manual obviously the metering will be out cause its dark, which is where the flash comes in. But how do i determine the right setting? over exposer or under exposed.
Whats the best way to get started, Set the ISO to about 400 maybe more for darker areas ?
can anyone help  Ben Yu D300,SB800,Sigma 10-20,Mini Trekker Classic,Nova 3,Ixus 55 Other toys coming very soon..stayed tuned !!!!Check out my site http://byu88.smugmug.com<>http://photobucket.com/byu88

Ben, as long as the ceilings aren't too high, A mode, 200ISO, f5.6 - f8, pop up the on-camera flash, and you should be fine.
If you have longer distances to cover, need to shoot outdoors, or have ceilings higher than about 10 ft, bump the ISO to 400. g.
