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.

However, if I'm drunk and out with friends, it just gets switched straight to program. Ha :D ladyface Posted at 8:06 pm on May 21, 2008 usually A priority.  I like messing with dof quite a bit. pleaseremove Posted at 7:08 pm on May 21, 2008 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. iwashere85 Posted at 7:04 pm on May 21, 2008 Manual. =) EarthEmpire Posted at 6:48 pm on May 16, 2008 Manual aysel star Posted at 5:30 pm on May 16, 2008 If it's traditional 35mm: manual...
