All my photography is indoor flash/ strobe - so I am out of my expertise with an event. I am shooting (as an amateur) a party event and need some advice on the auto ISO settings, WB, and in-camera Jpgs. Like usual, my clients (family & close friends) are expecting pro results. ;D
My initial setup:
* Due to my testing (guessing!), for Auto-ISO, I now have set the Maximum Sensitivity to 6400 and the Minimum Shutter Speed to 1/100.
* Capture is set for RAW + JPG (small). JPG set for High ISO NR = Normal, Active D-Lighting = Normal
* White Balance is set for Auto1 (normal). This is a big concern, as I would prefer a non-variable setting.
The shoot is indoors and outdoors in early evening. I will use the popup flash (fill flash) about 50% of the captures. I will use the RAWS and the JPGs will be downloaded, to a guest laptop, immediately at the end of the event.
Will appreciate any guidance with this shoot. Any advice will be awesome! Thanks in advance.

I'd set WB for flash and JPEGS to Fine /large

If your shooting indoors you need to get a strobe...the popup flash in my opinion will not give you a "professional" results. Put the strobe on and either get some sort of diffuser or bounce the flash. Set your camera to 800-1600. For the outdoor shots just pay attention to where the sun is. Early morning shots outdoors should be fairly easy to pull off. I suggest iso 100-400 depending on the time of day.

you're gonna have to figure out how to eliminate red-eye on the spot too...
