Hello everyone! New here.

I started taking photos to use as references for my art and craft projects. Suddenly my photos were getting just as much attention as my artwork! I love experimenting and creating things different, and when I bought my Canon Power Shot, I couldn't believe how easy it was to get great photos! Hoping that when I retire in a year and a half I can find the time to learn how to get off the manual mode, but not because I have to, just because I feel guilty for not learning more about photography. I work a full time, 12hr. shift job at a local factory and do artwork in my spare time. Lack of time being my biggest problem.

I am looking forward to learning as much as I can and hearing how everyone else is doing in their photography experience. Have a great week!

I'm guessing you meant, get of the auto mode. You didn't mention which power shot camera you have. There are quite a few of them and they are all good little cameras. My best power shot camera is my G1X III and I also have a G1X II a G1X, SX30IS, SX60HS, G10 and G11. Not sure why I bought the G11 since the G10 produces higher resolution images. My favorite of what I call, pocket cameras, is the G1X III. It's small, has a 24 megapixel APS-C sensor and is easy to use. Anyway, my point is about manual mode vs full auto or semi auto modes. There is absolutely no badge of honor for running your camera in manual mode. Fact is, many Pro photographers use semi auto aperture priority because it gives them the flexibility to control depth of field while letting the camera controls most everything else. Most newer digital cameras have very sophisticated and accurate operating systems. Why would someone spend large amounts of money for a quality digital camera with a top notch operating system, just to turn it off. If you want to get off full auto or even program mode, learn how to use the semi auto modes. They are versatile, fast and accurate when used correctly. Also learn how to use exposure compensation. There are times, like shooting in snow, when it's fairly easy to derail even the best camera operating system. Exposure compensation will put the camera back on track.
By the way, Welcome to the UHH and have fun with your photography.

Thank you! Yes, I meant auto. I am hoping to take the time this summer to get to know my camera better. I have a Canon XS520 HS. Thinking about maybe purchasing the XS530. Although still great, I'm not very nice to my camera and it's starting to show wear. I've had it for quite a while. I also have a Nikon D3200 DSL. I'd like to spend more time with that one too.
