Kodak Z612 - concert photos

[boxermomma]

I have a Kodak Z612 and cant figure out how to take good pictures at night - more specifically at a concert. I'm going to one next weekend and really want to find out what settings I need to use so I dont get dark, blurry pictures. Anyone have any suggestions?

The most id think you can do with that camera is crank up the ISO as high as you can without killing the picture. Do you have manual settings on it?

As Reg_00 said, set the ISO to 400 and watch how much you zoom..The lens is relatively fast at wide angle with a aperture of F2.8 but at full zoom it is F4.8 ..this aperture will require more light. I like to use S mode (shutter priority mode)and set the shutter for 1/30-1/60 sec. and see if the camera can pick a working aperture..one that the pictures won't be dark. The camera has IS so you should be able to hand hold that shutter speed. Also..turn the flash off..unless you are less than 10' away from your subject.
