its not full auto point and shoot. Its like Shutter Priority/Aperture priortiy combined. Camera still takes care of adjust aperature/shutter speed based on light input, but all the other settings are adjustable. and it still allows you to change the aperature or shutter speed if you need to and will adjust the other to compensate etc without having to change modes. I guess it more like a smart manual mode :lol
Its actually pretty nice in a lot of just out and about situations. Obviously in a shot like you posted earlier with Dans CRZ you would have to shoot manually, but good for those situations where you dont have the lesiure of really setting up a shot.
Yes, Canon does have priority modes like you mentioned. The only time I use them are for panning shots (aperture priority). Over time you can gain speed in manual mode too.
KBB…fantastic post above. Hit the nail on the head as far as basics go.
Another tip…
Hold breath to steady your camera and produce more clean images at high ISO’s or long shutter speeds.
Pretend you’re trying to shoot a gun. I learned this trick, believe it or not, playing Metal Gear Solid on PS1 I believe. :lol
Thanks man.
Even a full breath and let it half out, I think that’s what they teach snipers lol.
