I had been using AV mode for a few mths. Now I am starting to practice with M mode. Normally I base on the exposure meter on the camera to know if I am using the current setting. But the metering sometime play me out... Is there any tips?

Do you use the same metering method? There is no need to use M just for the sake of using the function (and not wasting the money paid for it..). Use whatever settings you know how to handle and that gives the results you want. Each has its purpose.I had been using AV mode for a few mths. Now I am starting to practice with M mode.

But sometimes.. its a EGO problem i see.. and i know some of these people.. maybe it feels better or more professional. i dontknow..If you are using M mode by setting the aperture, then adjusting shutter speed so the meter goes to the middle... then what you are doing is nothing different from using Av mode, but you are wasting the energy to turn the shutter speed dial when the camera can set it for you.
I use M when shooting "Men" but I will switch to AV mode when shooting "AV Stars" :bsmilie:
No it does not affect anything other than your shutter speed.oh btw guys.. erm if im on AV mode.. If i adjust the EV (exposure compensation) to make it brighter or darker.. Does it affect the picture quality? Picture quality i mean here was like will the sharpness of the picture decrease..or will it add more noise to my picture?
(or noise is only affected by ISO?)
