R6 SOC video help

I rarely do video, and I don't want to learn to be great. What I want is to use my R6 to get OK videos of my kids performing on stage with no post processing (or very limited tweaks to color temp and tone curve). The perpetual problem is that the highlights are always blown out if I don't use -2/3 exp comp. But even then, the skin tones are not great.

Here is a single frame grabbed in Lightroom Classic. Left is SOC, right has slight edits to temp and tone curve. I really don't need this to be super high quality, so I'd rather explore if my R6 has some presettings available to eliminate any need for post processing. I do a great deal of work to get great photos which I share with other parents. Now I just want OK video that stands above iPhone but doesn't take a lot of work.
