How does this camera handle white wash from lighting on stage productions?

Phillip, If white wash is a big concern, this camera won't cut it! a Canon 5D Mark 2 or 3 with a FAST LENS will but then your talking a major $$$ upgrade. Merry Christmas.

i applied the screen front and rear. there is a cut out for the flash. It should not cover the flash or the lens. I have found that my Sony produces a white wash on most pics taken.

In that kind of environment, where you're standing in the dark but the kids on stage are lit, it performs very well. In fact, we had a concert at my church a couple weeks ago and I shot in those precise conditions... and the pictures turned out great! Oh... don't be afraid to bump your ISO, even up to 3200, and you should be fine. ヅ

The answer by Dagmar Miura is mostly correct and the exact issues I experience with this camera. Setting white balance to manual doesnt solve "all" the problems of white balance and color shifting but helps considerably. There is still some color shifting when panning through rooms with mixed lighting conditions that I cant seem to avoid. Its not enough for me to call this camera junk because I use it often and have owned it for a year but it is somewhat irritating.

the camera will adjust to the light that it is focus on if you have a wide field of view you will not get what you want just focus on the stage and you will get what you want.

It was a white flash. My Camera stopped working after 3 months. I don't know how to exchange it through Amazon.

It happens when a little bit of the skin gets over the camera lens, it has to be applied perfectly or the white wash will be very noticeable. I fixed it by removing the skin between the flash and the camera but it was a really annoying problem.

It cleans very easily and remains white and bright. You can even put it in the dishwasher, I did and it cleaned pretty well. I did remove a few spots it missed, but it was easy.

I agree with Mariano, and there are many variations of "White Paper" with different brightness levels. The DGK is consistent. I personally use the neutral gray. The two ways I know to use it are to shoot ir close up and then use your camera's custom WB to set the WB, or shoot in RAW and put the DGK in a sample shot at the start and again any time your light changes and batch adjust your WB in a program like Lightroom or Aperture.

the recorded video and the on-screen stream are affected by the degree of light exposure. Not only the brightness degree but also affect the colours.

It is what I would call it a natural white. If lit properly, you should be able to photograph it against a white background.

I've had the W20 for 5 years now and it's been around the world in all kinds of conditions and still takes great images. I decided to get the W90 because of it's ability to take HD video and it's LED lighting for Macro shots. These cameras need good lighting and don't do well in dim taverns, but I don't care as I bought it for rugged outdoor use.

Its pretty decent for portraiture, but for event shooting, i'd go with either reflections off the walls or a diffuser. When using the softbox, you just have to make sure its not going all flimsy on you and that the leather isnt blocking any of the flash (Have the soft box erect as possible)

My cameras are outdoor color, the equipment works well. I hope this helps you.

The only time I had this issue (washed out) was when I took a picture far away or used the flash in a clearly lit room. If you have sufficient sunlight in the room you are taking pics, do not use the flash. It doesn't have to be very bright in the room, just average light. Hope this helps.

you can do all of that in post-production( tweak til you like the look), - main thing is to white balance your camera before you shoot....

That's what I use: "White". I really like it, because it eliminate the harsh effect of the undiffused flash, when taking snapshots in dim lit places. Restaurants, hallways etc. I've found no use for the other colors!
