[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 577573, member: 13090"] At least 90% of my shooting is done in Manual mode with Auto-ISO enabled. I do this because it allows me to control the two aspects of exposure that matter most to me: shutter-speed and aperture. ISO is less of a concern for me because its downside, digital "noise", I can easily and effectively correct for during post-processing. The Auto-ISO menu options also allow for a certain degree of control so I can almost stop thinking about ISO altogether. The downside of using a shutter speed that was too slow (unwanted motion-blur) and/or an aperture that was too wide (softness) or too narrow (busy background, lack of bokeh) are not easily corrected for during post-processing. Yes, there are things you can try to correct for shooting-errors here but in my opinion these are the two aspects that really need to gotten right [I]in-camera[/I]. As for Exposure Compensation, when shooting in manual you do that manually as well but you'll need to disengage from using Auto-ISO. Then you choose what you want to adjust to get the shot you want. You can adjust the aperture, shutter speed or ISO; singly or in combination... Your choice. But this requires a really, *really* solid understanding of exposure and exposure reciprocity. Shooting in Manual with Auto-ISO enabled allows me to concentrate on the aesthetics of my shot. [/QUOTE]
