I’ve been taking photos at concerts lately and have been getting good shots but I’m not getting great shots if that makes sense.

I use a sony 7IV with a tamron 28-75 and a 70-200. Usually I shoot 1/200, usually auto iso, and then lowest aperature.

  1. I get banding in a lot in photos for some reason and I’m not sure why.
  2. the photos aren’t super clear so I’m not sure what to do. is auto enough?
  3. I’ll be honest I mainly do auto for lightroom editing but i’m not sure if I could be doing more

any advice is appreciated

    That shutter speed seems really low to me. I wouldn’t push it below 1/500, and 1/1000 is even better for dynamic, energetic performers.

    The banding example that you posted looks like the result of using the electronic/silent shutter - try switching to the manual shutter if you haven’t already.

      500? Jesus those photos are gonna be dark and grainy as hell especially if you’re shooting that high of an iso. Although, it might be unavoidable. I try to keep my iso as low as possible when I can, but I’ve also never shot into a dim venue.
