Re: Taking pics of dancers in a ballroom

I'm sorry to say but Canon sensors are slow to focus in low contrast situations and even worst in low light which is a double whammy.  I would recommend manual set focus with a small aperture for more depth of field.  A high ISO will also help but have to find the sweet spot of minimal noise.  You can fix noise post processed.  Also you can set your camera to multiple shots and use RAW to recover the image afterwards.
