[QUOTE="J-see, post: 367518, member: 31330"] It's fascination how people think about manual mode. ;) I'm not limiting myself in any way. Let me explain. Unless you're in a studio having full control, out there the settings of a cam depend mostly upon the light available for a shot. We have to find a compromise between ISO, shutter and aperture. How do we do that? By first setting that which has priority and then adjust the rest accordingly. Some shots require faster shutter, some more or less depth. There's always one that has priority. If I know I need at least 1/200s shutter, I have to decide what ISO and what aperture. If I do that manually or in A or S is irrelevant since the light available forces me into a certain direction. In S mode, I have a range of aperture available for "ideal" exposure at a certain ISO, if I change ISO, I change the range of A. Guess what I'd be doing in M? Exactly the same thing. I could either pop out the light meter and turn some wheels and then adjust the settings, or I could assume the cam can calculate faster and better than what I do. Like I said, it makes no difference. [/QUOTE]
