Yes, I do use full manual, on occasion! But I also use all the semi-automatic modes (shutter perfered, aperature perfered, and program) when appropriate.
Gasp, I even use Auto at times!
Nay. I found that most of the time the camera on P, the pro setting came up the same as the manual setting. I know how to use manual but condider it to be redundant. I just want the image and how I get it isn't a matter of any significance.
Almost never. That’s why I’m on here!
Aye.
The first time I remember someone taking a picture of me, I was sitting on a Summer Camp bench with a Kodak Box camera on my hand. From that time on most of my cameras didn't even could use an automatic setting until I purchased a film Nikon F-100 that I used, (and still have it today) then I purchased my first digital, a Nikon D-70 upgraded to a D-80, then D-90 and finally to the two I use today, a D-300 and D-750. Today I use most of the time the full manual settings since most of the new cameras have a plethora of combinations, for speed, aperture and other priorities that can only be set using the manual settings,
My settings:
U1 (places and things)
AF-A, Auto-AF Area select.
LARGE BASIC optimize quality JPG.
U2 (people)
AF-C, Auto-AF Area select.
SMALL BASIC optimize quality JPG
