basically ..
i leave most things auto ..
depending on light i may change the ev compensation and ISO ...

I'm the oposite!

I use aperture priority and manual. I dont think I ever use anything else.

Mind you, this isnt surprising when you consider that I " cut my teeth" on the Zenith E, and Pracktica LTL. The Zenith had an external match needle average meter, and was manual exposure only, and manual focus only. The Pracktica was almost the same, but had a match needle in the veiwfinder which was actually connected to the shutter and aperture controls! That was luxury!!!

well..
i got lazy when i switched to digital ..
i never had all these auto stuff on my old AV-1

I'm with Rufus! i hardly use the other settings! Most of the time i'm on aperture priority.

I must admit that I use Program mode (with program shift) most times... and leave the rest of the settings on auto. (shame shame!)

Only go to shutter priority if I need to sync flash at a slower speed...

i like shutter priority in lower lighting ..
it underexposes the photo a lil .. but it gives a nice effect..
