That should've been able to take a clean sharp shot. I think resolution is ok - just ISO needs to be boosted to 3200

Sorry ibbz , I meant that the site was rejecting it . I've had to resize all of them down from 6000 to 5250 pixels and then they've been fine but with these 2 it wasn't having it .
I'm even more ignorant with a camera than I am with a bike I'm afraid . Without being funny I'm hard of learning , I have adhd so I tend to have to teach myself stuff and quite honestly it takes a long time to get anywhere with anything that my brain struggles with .
My brain does spacial awareness really well so things like composition come relatively easily but technical things take forever .

Boosting the ISO helps with low light ?

Sorry man, I thought you were asking about the photo.
The site is pretty good. If on a desktop computer anyway, on a mobile its trickier.
Are you using a desktop?

Yes, on a modern camera such as yours, you could either do it yourself or put it in auto (with flash off) and the camera will take care of it. (or clip on a flash on the hotshoe)
rule of thumb is bright sunny daylight ISO 100. Daylight cloudy 400. Indoors daytime 400 - 800. Indoors with lighting 800-1600. In a concert of somewhere with stage lighting 1600-3200+ modern cameras are clean as a whistle up to and exceeding 6400!

I'm gonna write that down and stick in the camera bag . Thanks man I appreciate the input very much .
The camera is generally on auto , due to my muppetry , but I know I'm not getting the best out of it .

You're welcome!
Just go into the menu and set ISO to Auto
Then select quality to medium (14MP) and White Balance to AUTO
and it will be set to shoot and upload without issues.
Do this turning the dial to P for program - or just select Auto.

I pretty much gave up with taking pics at gigs 'cos they always came out grainy and if you're working people can get pretty stroppy if you start doing things you're not paid to do .

totally understand! try some test shots at home in the same sort of light level as a Gig with some props as a subject
try 1600 3200 and 6400 then view on the computer to see how clean and sharp

For some extra control play around with the Spot Meter combined with the Exposure Lock button.
