[QUOTE="aced19, post: 108325, member: 9734"] Unless you're in a controlled environment there is no one setting that you can just use for snowboarding, night or nature. Because the conditions will always be different every time you want to take a pic. Which means you're going to have to make minor tweaks to adjust to the different conditions. Use A or S then let the camera do the work for you. But even in those modes you still will have to make minor tweaks to get the picture you want.
