What shooting mode do you usually use when taking photos on your camera?

I prefer shooting in Aperture priority or Program. Auto mode is good, but it doesn't really hit the nail on the head like aperture priority does. Shutter priority is just too much work, and I haven't been using Manual mode long enough with my camera to take pictures reliably.

Umm, depends what I'm doing, if I'm just being lazy and taking snaps then always program.

Then everything else depends on what I'm shooting. Although i would only really use aperture priority, shutter priority and manual. Never use auto or any of the pre-programmed scenes.

I also always keep it in auto-focus these days... simply because it's faster than me. Although for some set-ups i do use manual, especially for time-release stuff, or things in the dark where it probably wont be able to find a lock. This said, i did get caught out by not returning it to auto the other-day... so the first couple of photos were not in focus where i wanted them to be.

Manual.

You can't really use anything else if you're in the studio, and I guess I'm just used to it now.

However, if I'm drunk and out with friends, it just gets switched straight to program. Ha :D
