[QUOTE="J-see, post: 435119, member: 31330"] I started out shooting either A or S on the D3300 since it didn't differ much with manual. If you have two values, the third is a fixed number to get correct exposure so if I set it or the cam makes no difference. After I upgraded to the D750 that changed and I shoot manual 95% of the time. The reason for doing do is that in any auto-mode the cam only considers one specific value as the right one to get the "correct" exposure. The reality with these cams is that the correct exposure has become a range of possible exposures which can all be adjusted in post to get the "correct" exposure you desire. So when using any auto-mode you're constantly struggling with the cam that calculates and pushes towards the traditional exposure triangle while you have a range at your disposal out of which you pick that which benefits most for the shot you want to take. Regardless if that results into an overexposed or underexposed shot. Any auto-mode has become too restrictive on these cams and it is less work and leads to better results if you just shoot full manual. [/QUOTE]
