Just came back from a wed. rehearsal, the wedding we're shooting is tomorrow at 2:00 pm. I took a canon 1-chipper for reference. This rehearsal took place at about 5:30 pm. About half the lights in the church were on, and a lot of sunlight was coming through stained glass windows, on both sides of the church. If you just look with your eyes, it doesn't look like a lot of light. But, when recorded (admittedly with auto everything on this cam) it looks like spotlights are coming through the windows.
Tomorrow there will be more inside light, and the VX2000 should be able to handle things better than this canon did. Is there anything, short of more indoor light, that can help this? The only exposure settings on the canon are things like snow, spotlight, portrait, etc. I couldn't find a manual exposure setting (this is a canon ZR 70MC) The footage from the rehearsal is not crucial at all, I just want to provide the best quality I can during the ceremony.
thanks for any ideas...

Watching the footage now, it isn't as bad as it appeared to be on the lcd viewfinder. But still, it looks like Close Encounters coming through the window. Any suggestions still appreciated....
