[QUOTE="steptoe, post: 99066, member: 8928"] I'm jumping in here, but had auto mode on while taking some shots of my new grandsons and no flash the last couple of days. Just hold down the flash button on the left of the camera and turn the dial button until it puts a line through the lightning flash icon on the screen. No auto flash as my daughter didn't want that going off in their faces (no external flash yet, its next on my list almost went for it for Christmas but got an LED flash ring for macro shots instead) And I use the A and S to give me an idea what the camera thinks are best, then put the camera in M mode so I can change settings to what I feel is appropriate while taking long exposure shots with the tripod for beach and night shots, so I use all three when I feel I have the time to take test shots until I'm happy with the results But quick shots are usually in A or S though, and when I haven't got time to 'get it right' I do drop back to auto-mode when the wife is getting impatient if I take the camera with us somewhere and spend more time with that than with her [/QUOTE]
