Q: Best concert setting for S2?

[urbanmate_wv]

Hi everyone, I'm going to a county fair concert tonight and I have no idea about which setting to use on my s2/is. It's at 8pm so it will be limited lighting. Any advice will help!

Thanks,

Below are shots I took almost a year ago with the S2 IS. Generally, I used the widest aperture available to me--about 3.5 and a shutter speed of 1/125 or slightly lower. You may be able to get away with a slower shutter speed if you catch the performer in a natural pause (like a long note). I shot at ISO 200 (I think). (It possibly could have been 400 ISO because some of the photos from this set were quite noisy.) If you can, stick to 200. Also, don't be afraid to underexpose a little. Sometimes the effect can be nice as in the last image.
