[QUOTE="AC016, post: 68419, member: 9619"] I don't think that any mode is cheating. Each mode has a purpose and that purpose is about control - in Automode, you let the camera have control. Each time you take a picture, your camera throws back a ton of info. For example, if you are shooting in Auto, you can take note of your environment, such as the sun, clouds, nightime, etc. Take the picture and see what settings the camera uses. From there, you can go into M mode and duplicate the settings and see what you come up with. THen you have a sort of reference point on what settings to use on real sunny, cloudless day. With A mode, you can play around with the aperture to see the affects it has on the picture - letting more light in or less light in. This is just one way of learning on what settings to use in what environment. So, for me, none of the modes is really cheating. You can learn from them, even Auto mode. However, don't stay in Auto for to long. [/QUOTE]
