lighting help
I got tapped to do an indoor event tomorrow (nothing like waiting until the last second) shooting some Olympians at an Arena. Sounds pretty basic, press conference/wave to the crowd close ups is all they want. I know arena lighting can be tricky though, I have seen enough troubles with shooting in gyms and such.
Outside of shooting RAW, should I manual white balance or should I use the flash balance? Probably going to be able to use my 580EX for this with no issue and will be using the 24-70 L 2.8 and 70-200 IS L 2.8.
Asking here since there has been a lot of talk about shooting in oddly lit places (volleyball, basketball, etc).
Thanks guys!

Brandon,
I've never shot in a gym using a flash
Sorry, I am sure this isn't much help. But, maybe someone else will chime in
Good luck
Steve
Flash on ETTL and adjust FEC as needed. Go manual on the camera at 1/60 or 1/125. f/5.6 is a good suggestion. Adjust ISO so that your ambient exposure isn't too far down (no more than 2 stops for sure). And shoot RAW.
The more expensive solution is to hang strobes.
