[QUOTE="salukfan111, post: 571122, member: 39212"] I completely agree. The only problem I get into is sneaking in a 1/250 or so shot (with f/8 or /11) on a perched bird and quickly reset the shutter and forget the f stop. I was shooting a juvinille peregrine and he started chasing a kingfisher about 12 inches off the water in the shade under the bluff wall and the 20 shots looked so good on the back of the camera until I imported them and saw I cranked up the shutter and forgot to maximize the aperture. I went from Nat Geo pictures to 20k + iso crummy shots. With manual mode with auto iso you have to immediately reset everything after a temporary change or I'll forget in the heat of the moment. Apart from that, I'm suprised people shoot in any other mode. [/QUOTE]
