Weekly Poll: What mode do you shoot in most often?

[Nicole]

Well, after seeing some of the answers last week, this seemed like a good question to ask forum members here. Which mode do you shoot in most often when you're using your camera? Kind of a short and simple question, but if you could give us an idea of why you shoot in that mode, hopefully it will keep it a little more interesting

p mode mostly because it gives me some control but i'm still learning and i haven't graduated to full control yet

See corry, told you I'd put this poll up this weekend

Tv, Av and Manual...in that order

[GEli]

Manual for anything with slow moving or stationary subjects and Av for anything with some action.

I'm slowly getting out of AV to full manual. Taking baby steps, but getting there.

When I am practicing I have started prefering Av mode, but when I can't risk practicing while I am with friends/family to capture some moments I prefer Auto

[Klaidas]

Full manual since the beginning. That's why I wanted a DSLR in the first place!

Though I do remember taking a few action shots in aperture priority... it was a bright sunny day, every slight change of my position required an enormous change of shutter speed, and Dovilas (http://flickr.com/photos/klaidas/2544988402/) was jumping all around like crazy - what was I to do?..

Av unless the camera is about to make a stupid decision for the other settings, then manual.

Tv if I need to stop the action outdoors. Indoors it's back to Av and a flash.

Full Manual,
unless I'm using the 100-400L and then I use Tv to ensure the shutter speed is greater than the focal length.
