And A stand for amateur !
If you don't need any creative element in your photographs, there's really no need for M.
Haha. And what does M stand for? Mature? :sweatsm:
Anyways, I use M 90% of the time. I don't see why one should use any other mode if he/she already knows what settings to dial in. I don't like my exposures to be jumping all around the place...
Honestly, once you use a camera with good auto-iso mode, it's either full manual or auto-iso.
Punch in your favourite or preferred shutter speed & aperture combination, and adjust as according to calculated iso. :thumbsup:
i dun really trust auto ISO mode... sometimes even in broad daylight, it can shoot up to 1200 or 1600. :dunno: that is what happens to my 5DMKII when i started using it initially.
Did you try it in manual mode? Or does your camera not allow auto-ISO in manual mode? I noticed my camera does have the tendency to screw up the ISOs in aperture priority mode.

u mean try manual mode with auto ISO? nope.
but if i use AV mode with auto ISO, sometimes even if under broad day light, it can shoot up to very high ISO.
I have tried the auto iso mode on my D3100 and it works great for me. but I figured that if I am taking some important events I will decide on the iso myself just in case auto iso screws me up
without this basic knowledge, you will just rely on your camera to make decision for you, and when things don't work out you will never understand why went wrong..
M for mafan coz need to adjust here and there. ;p
I am so surprise to see so many people still insist on not using P mode with todays digital camera... For me if I am doing event indoor, I will select P mode, flash, and custom WB plus auto ISO. Today's digital camera is built so much better, and faster, compare to the older film cameras, whereby your own fingers are still more accurate.
I will still use M/A/S for shots that is impossible to achieve with the default settings in P mode.
anyway, which mode to use is not important, as long as you can get a good picture out of the camera...
