[QUOTE="J-see, post: 354522, member: 31330"] It can indeed be a bit much in the beginning. I mainly switch between A and S for macro but occasionally still use P when time is an issue. But it's really important to go to RAW unless the photos don't matter. When you're shooting, your shutter, aperture and ISO are all that matters. Evidently your focus, composition and such too. Those are finalized once you take the shot and thus the only important ones. All those other fine-tuning options only make us lose time and miss shots. I've been doing jpg too long and been fumbling with WB, exposure compensation, the picture controls and all that. Then you realize it is not needed at all. At least not before or during shooting. What they do is finalize a certain "look" and translating that into Jpg format. In RAW you can afterwards do exactly the same, comfortably behind your monitor and only finalize the photo when you consider it exactly right. [/QUOTE]
