I saw something today and it made me think.. I was in my dark living room and was going to take a picture of a candle. It wasn't pitch black but it was dark. Only light was the candle and kitchen light from back ground. I put the camera on manual and looked at the live view and it was pretty much blacked out. I just thought it was because of the dark room. I don't know why but I put it on auto and all of sudden I could see the candle and room. I was able to take a picture and actually see the candle.. I tried to shot it again in manual with same ISO and it was still darker than auto. Why do you guys think this is happening? Just want to know the technical reason. I also put the camera on A and P mode and It was brighter than manual but still darker than auto. On another note what mode do most of you shot in? I know lost of you go manual but do you do manual all the time? Reason I ask is because I've been shoting on A most of the time, sometimes P. Was just curious as I dont want to get want to use auto as I think if I go that route I'll get stuck there. Don't see the reason to go DSLR just to use auto..Thanks to all..Robby
