[pixmedic]

I shoot in Beast Mode

Like others have said, it depends on what I am shooting. If I am shooting faces, I put it in face mode. If I am shooting mountains, I put it in mountain mode, If I am shooting flowers, I put it in flower mode and if I am shooting little guys running, I put it in little guy running mode.

That's all I shoot, faces, mountains, flowers and little guys running.

What mode do you use then you shoot the little guys' face while he's running through a flower-covered mountain meadow?

Always manual.

There are situations where I probably could use shutter priority, but I'd rather a missed image be my fault, rather than trusting the camera.

I have a D300s. Does it have modes? if so, How do I change them?

Yes it does. If it is like the D300 then the White Balance is auto by default, as is the ISO, and then the Picture Controls are in Normal. Which if you shoot strictly in RAW is not a problem for the Picture Controls, because they do not count. The there is the ADL or dynamic lighting is on in normal by default. As id the High Noise Reduction. I pretty much switched all of that off by my default. I do shoot RAW+ Jpeg Fine, so I tweak the Picture Controls depending on what I want out of a subject/scene, I also change my ISO, and have my Measured White Balances filled up for odd lighting situations. But as said it is all in the Manual, while yes I know it is pretty much a novel, it has a wealth of information.

For the D300s hold mode and rotate the rear wheel. That will change the shooting mode.

Yeah these threads are always fun.

I'm not even gonna read it... but I shoot Manual. 99.9% of the time.

I really need to reacquaint myself with Av again though. There's some times where it would probably just be easier to use that when I'm not using OCF.

The mode that gives me the most technological looking sh1t on the screen.

I shoot MANual

 

[Solarflare]

Aperture priority on my D5100. Sometimes I switch to Auto if I really have to be super quick and are not sure in what state my camera is right now. Sometimes I switch to Manual or Shutter priority. Shutter priority is obvious, time is more important than anything. Manual is if I want to keep the pictures in the same condition or something like that. I hate doing that, though; for to be actually manual in Manual, you have to do some menu surfing to disable Auto ISO or you're not manual at all.

Manual on my Compact (Rico GR Digital IV). The metering of that camera is just far too unreliable. So I simply meter once, take a picture, check if its overexposed and the correct the exposure until its right.

 

[edman0142]

Before I went full frame it varied between Aperture priority and Manual. After the switch I tend to always shoot full Manual mode.

Chocolate!

Most of the time I use shutter priority.
I'm not that good at staying perfectly still while taking a picture, so I speed up the shutter to help compensate for shake and get clear pictures.
If I feel like messing with the depth as well then I use full manual so I can still maintain a fast shutter speed.

Rarely used any other modes on my T3i
