When having a expensive camera, do you use the automatic or the manuel functions to make your best photoshots. Should the camera not find the best adjustment itself when using the automatic function. The automatic mode usually provides good pictures. But sometimes you want to use aperture-priority to blow the background out of focus or alternatively, to get as much as possible in focus. Sometimes you want to use shutter-priority to freeze the action, or for intentional motion blur. Sometimes you want to use spot metering to make absolutely sure a face or other detail is properly exposed. Sometimes you want to change the white balance to prevent a color cast. Sometimes you want to change the ev setting to intentionally over / under expose. Sometimes you want to set the aperture and shutter speed manually for a predicatable result. Sometimes you want to bracket and take a few shots. Sometimes you want to change the auto-focus style for better subject tracking vs. a central point for faster AF, etc. Sometimes you want to change the ISO setting to achieve a desired aperture + shutter speed. Or limit the ISO for better image quality. Sometimes you want to use fill flash in the middle of the day, or kill the flash at night. And sometimes when you change a setting, it makes the difference between a snapshot and something you can sell. use em both,sometimes auto just dont cut it.sometimes i need to manually open it all the way,then physically move the camera into my desired exposure.(for an example) started on a late 60's nikkormat fully manual,then semi,now n80. 25 years of shooting.refuse to go digital. gimme dem points. I'm not a Pro but, I use Manual exposure mode 99.5% I don't like the camera to make my decisions. That depends on what automatic are you talking about. If those are the preset modes, then not good. If you are talking about the priopity modes, then yes. We still use them. Each for each own goodness. i use auto modes when i let someone else use the camera and gum... you answered one of my other questions and i just have to say to your surprise yes...i am interested...just because i use canon doesn't mean i wont get my dad a d80 if i find a great deal... not to mention I'd like to try it out...I'm not brand loyal and Nikon and canon are both great...each have their strong points |
