I am shooting OU/TX A&M next week and was wondering if an F4 600 on my 1DX would be sufficient for the lighting in that venue. Any help would be appreciated. It is a 7pm start I believe. Thanks

Dec 31, 2012 20:18 | #14 I shot there for the Tech - Baylor game, set my 7D on Manual, shutter at 1/800 or 1/1000, apeture to 2.8 and set the ISO to auto, never got an ISO ran around 1250 or so. You should do just fine with the f4. Gary
