Yeah was gonna shoot RAW in TAV mode
Thanks
Take the kit lens if you have it, wide angles are also good if you manage to get close to the edge.
Don't stick to freezing action. Explore slower shutter speed to impress a sense of movement, for some shots it works.

Will be shooting at a local dancing on ice fundraiser this weekend and was hoping for some advice.
Synthetic ice rink measuring about 10m x 10m. Lighting should be fairly good I'd expect.
Have no decent zooms, so was thinking of using the 77mm throughout? Any advice appreciated
