Anyone else going to that green auto setting?

I bought a Nikon D70s and it's used. When I got it it was set on the green auto. I almost tossed the camera because flash automatically popped up on me.
There is a thread about camera complexity and the Green Auto is the most complex feature of this camera.

It really doesn't matter what mode you use, as long as you or your client are happy.
I believe that anyone who belittles someone for using auto, or chimping or shooting style is arrogant.

I haven't got a Green Auto button on any of my cameras, although I use "A" mostly along with "P" and "S" occasionally. All these setting are still basically "Auto" but I do use the Auto setting sometimes when I feel it is necessary.

Agree. You’ll be better served learning and understanding composition then fiddling with those letters on your camera dial. Nothing wrong with auto when it serves your needs.

My problem with "A" is that it will make the flash pop up and fire if there is low light, ruining the photo. I use "P", and choose to use the flash sparingly at "-1" for fill.
👍👍👍😊
I had read from many opinions that there is No reason to use "Auto" mode on your Digital Camera.
The "Program or P" mode is as close to "Auto mode" as a Digital Photographer should need to go.
Full "Auto Mode" eliminates any Creativity for the Photographer.
They might as well just use a Smartphone.

Here’s a link to some photos taken with iPhone. Pretty creative:

Yes, those shared images are very nice and very creative. So, thank you for adjusting my incorrect comment regarding a Smartphone.

I don't use the full green auto mode (or any of the scene mode) because I don't want to spend the time to learn how it works. The manual usually doesn't describe exactly how it works. In other word it's too complex for me.

When I am in an uncertain situation, with changing opportunities, I might use Auto. Joel Sartori (Nat Geo photographer) says that he leaves his cameras in Auto around the house. He knows he can pick them up and get the shot without wasting time making adjustments.

Its all about personal preference without any wrong or right way to enjoy taking photos regardless their knowledge of photography or their camera. Manual with auto ISO (assuming limits are set correctly) is the other 'auto setting' I use 98% of the time. It can be tailored with the spin of a dial depending on the subject. However, a bit of knowledge about certain aspects of photography and a few other settings is required which auto users (and others) may or may not wish to pursue.

With my Nikon D7000 I usually shoot in Aperture mode and in Raw. After a few shoots with my Fuji X100F it is almost always full auto in jpegs. That little X100 renders extremely well.

When I shoot for shows, I use manual and Aperture Priority. When I am on vacation with my pocket Sony HX99's, I am on the green setting, no regrets.

Is there a right way or just personal preference? I prefer manual with auto ISO upper limit set.
