User priority

Dave, about to watch a (TV) Program, then I'll look that up in my Manual (AVad a long day).

[xxdrakexx]

I use Program 90% of the time and the rest is Scene my camera doesn't have Manuel

[Kerrie]

For things that are still -av mode and I try to control dof and exposure mostly. And composition...I'm getting used to considering lighting too now, sort of.

For moving and unpredictable ' things' ( read puppies, animals, anything moving really) I'm using the auto setting of ' moving objects' on my camera. It sets the camera at widest av and handles the shutter speed for me. I can set exposure prior if I want to. Then I just try n focus.

Does that make me bad I revert to auto when needed?

I still don't get program mode. I've read about it, but I don't get it . Maybe once I get the others I will try and understand it again. Just FYI.

Aperture. Easy and gets the job done.

Otherwise Manual

Good night.

Which ever mode suits me at the time "User Priority".

I shoot manual most of the time. I don't know why but I haven't practiced that much with aperture and shutter priority.
The only time I do is when Birding...

[MasterOfRoc]

Shutter or manual generally, go to cheat mode when I'm not confident on what I need, but that's rare

[azilko]

aperture priority for the most part while im learning, ill deviate to manual for specific shots one day

[fenderstrat1963]

Lately, it's almost always manual. If not that, then mostly aperture priority. I like that term "user priority" though Dave

I haven't touched my camera for a few months but I generally use P mode.

I don't like full auto as I prefer to shoot in raw, and I've never gotten the hang of TV mode. Use to shoot in AV quite a bit but the camera always seemed to do a better job than I could so that's why I moved back to P.

As for manual..well, I cannot see the writing in the viewfinder in bright daylight as I need to wear glasses, and if I can't get the hang of AV or TV I'd hate to imagine how terrible my images would be in manual

So I shall persist with P, and some AV thrown in for good measure.

[hagane]

I like the flexibility offered in the Av mode and use it the majority of the time. For flash boosted shots (indoor) and night time shots, manual mode with lots of trial and error. :-)

Pretty much Manual mode if I'm not sure of light I will put it on AV then lock it on manual, I think it all depends a lot on what your photographing to.

[MissionMan]

Mix of Manual, Shutter and Aperture. If I'm shooting kids, I may shoot shutter priority to keep the speed high, if I want a particular look, I go with Aperture, if I need speed and aperture I use manual. I limit my ISO to 6400 but I always keep an eye on it to see when it's heading too high

[in2fx]

I still switch between Manual, Aperture Priority and Shutter Speed Priority all the time depending on what I am shooting at the time because I am into so many different types of photography.

Sport and fast moving subjects usually has me on 'TV' (shutter priority).

People on 'AV' (aperture priority) unless using speedlites.

Landscape, Seascape, Night Photography, Macro, and special effects etc., on 'M' (manual).

[ausfitter]

I usually use AV but I find myself lately using Manual, which has been great, cause you can really get a good grasp on how the little things make a big difference.

[ktoopi]

I use all three all the time but if pushed to pick one I use the most it would probably be manual

[snappysi]

I use manual 99% of the time....if I ever use any other its to get a baseline of what the camera thinks....

[glennb]

It's aperture for me but now I'm into macro it's been a bit more in manual mode lately.
