[QUOTE="Danno_RIP, post: 540844, member: 34269"] First, welcome to the Forum. I think you will find this a very good place to learn about photography and your Camera. I would suggest you go to your profile page and let everyone know what kind of equipment you have. That is really helpful. As for shooting in any mode other than automatic. It gives you control of the shot. If you shoot in automatic the camera makes all the decisions. You get to decide if you will have a very shallow depth of field for a portrait, for example, where the background is blurred or a much deeper depth of field for a landscape. The camera is good but it does not know what you want the picture to look like when you are done, only how to get a good exposure. I never shoot in Auto. I started in August of 2014 and I used Auto to help me learn how to set my camera, but I watched a lot of videos on the exposure triangle and light. I am still such a novice, but I do enjoy it and I learn something here every day. I know you will get more detailed explanations from the other folks on the forum. Good people here and a lot of experience. [/QUOTE]
