For me i am always at Av mode to choose my DOF followed by Exp Compensation
 

You forgot Pentax has a Sv mode which is not in your poll...

And is there a difference between P and Auto?

Aperture priority : Potrait and Cityscape, Daytime Shoot
Shutter priority: Sports
Aperture priority or Manual : Landscape
Manual : Macro and Night Shoot
 

start with A and now mainly M.
 

it really depends on shooting style, but for everyday use (landscape and portrait) A priority for me.
 

Start with AV mode, if desired picture cannot be achieved then to M mode..

Sure there is , if not why would they have it on the same dial ????
Haha, so homework for you tonight ..... :bsmilie:
 

Normally Av mode. Using Flash and long exposure M mode.
 

I usually switch between aperture priority or M. But mostly I use M. Saves the trouble of doing trial & error.

Yep there is. P= Programmed Auto. Auto=Full Auto. P allows you to do some minor tweakings. Exposure parameters come in 'sets.' To change exposure, you change the 'set,' ie both aperture and shutter speed changes together.
 

Normally shoot in Av, but if it's a challenging scene to expose, or Av gives me wacky results, then I switch to M.
 

Mostly manual mode. Occasionally uses shutter priority
 

i used to do M mode all the way but kinda lazy now so using AV mode most of the time... but sometimes still fall back to M mode as and when required.
 

i use m most of the time...occasionally i switch to Auto mode when i need strangers to help me take the photos..
