[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 700084, member: 13090"] I hate to sound sound harsh but the reality is you failed to understand one of the basic functions of your camera. M, on the Mode Dial, is an Exposure Mode. That's pretty simple and it's clearly explained in the user manual. You made assumptions about what your camera would do in "M" mode and didn't bother to verify or test those new settings before a major shoot. These questions indicate to me just how badly you need to sit down and spend some serious quality time with your camera's user manual. I shoot in "M" mode 99% of the time because I want full control over [I]exposure[/I] while the camera/lens work at getting correct [I]focus[/I]. You keep expecting "M" to be an over-riding function of your camera that does all sorts of things... It's not. It's an [I]Exposure Mode[/I]. Period. [I]Exposure[/I], [I]Auto-focusing[/I] and [I]Auto-focus behavior[/I] are all entirely different things. [I]Exposure[/I], [I]Auto-focusing[/I] and [I]Auto-focus behavior[/I] are all entirely different things. That's good. Listen to Fred. Fred knows his s--t (and is a much nicer person than I am).
