[QUOTE="J-see, post: 366267, member: 31330"] I do know how to manually control the cam since I have not known otherwise in the SLR days but I can't recall turning wheels on the light-meter as particularly exciting. But there was no other option. It might very well be correct that some algorithms have been developed before I was born but that doesn't change the fact that what the D3300 considers correct (or minimal) exposure is much brighter than what goes on at the other side of the lens. Much brighter. I don't subscribe to the manual = more control idea. Mind you, everyone does as they like but I find it an exercise in futility. It's exactly the same as with auto-focus. Why do most use that? Because the cam gets it right most of the time. Guess the reason why I use S or A? Exactly! When it doesn't get it right, I step in and overrule but I'm not thinking that suddenly I am now more in control. The cam is always in control, I just anticipate. Pushing three buttons more doesn't change that. [/QUOTE]
