Thanks. Of course in this type of setting there's very little time to adjust to the light before you lose a shot or the light changes drastically. It's not like in a small setting where the lighting remains relatively constant. Both stage lighting and the gigantic LED displays behind the stage were changing all the time. The S90 had particular problems focusing in the blue light. Exposure also failed in the blue light but seemed to work relatively good at other times.
