[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 104426, member: 6277"] Auto modes are not necessarily the worst thing you can do. If you understand all the auto modes. Program, aperture priority, shutter priority you can get great results. If shooting fast it can save some shots you might have missed sometimes. Now I am going to stir the hornets nest a little. Some people shoot only manual and CAN be a little snobbish about it. It all depends on what you are after. Are you after the ART of photography or the CRAFT of photography. Yes you need to learn the CRAFT to be good at the ART but it you use the (for Example) program mode and use the wheel to change the shutter speed and aperture it will always give you more of less the same exposure but change the depth of field and stop action properties. So you have done more or less what the people who shoot in Manual mode do.
