I dont forget anything!! I have been shooting in full manual mode from the time I went to a SLR camera so I am used to having to set everything.

Or am I forgetting something??

I rarley forget much, sometimes iso I guess, but I shoot in full manual all the time...it's the only way to have total control...and forgeting something when in manual means bad "snaps"

I forget most things. I'm trying to get into a routine, but I have trouble starting the routine. Once in the routine, I won't forget anything.

*eyes the camera as she pulls it out of the camera bag*

Most often? I forget to remove the part that holds the camera onto the tripod.

I tend to forget to check my white balance. Not a huge problem because I can usually fix it in PS. Also, like others, the ISO setting. Hate when that happens.

I tend to leave mine in manual focus, except for those few times I find I need auto-focus for self-portraits (since I don't have a remote).

Of course, I also tend to forget that when I switch from "Aperture Priority" to "Macro Mode" and back, that one will inevitibly be in manual focus only, while the other with be in Auto.

I'll also forget, from time to time, that I have the 12-second timer on

There are 2 things that I've been forgetting lately and once in particular it was a real bummer...

(1) Switching my WB.

(2) Switching off macro mode...I forgot this once on my trip to Alaska this summer and I ended up shooting a portion of a day in Denali NP completely in macro mode and unfortunately all my shots were landscapes! oops...
