  3. Aperture: Use a wide aperture (f/1.4-f/2.8) to create a shallow depth of field and blur the background.
  4. Shutter Speed: Use a fast shutter speed (1/125s-1/250s) to freeze the action and capture sharp photos.
  5. White Balance: Set the white balance to "Auto" or "Incandescent" to capture the warm tones of the party lights.
