Thread 4481110

How many of you shoot in manual mode and / or live mode? You can't take masterpieces without them. I finally feel like a proper photographer.

>Manual Mode
All the time, so much so that I wonder why cameras are made with mode dials.

Never, I hate looking at the LCD for composition. Only one of my cameras has an articulating screen anyway so, very rarely, if I'm using that camera, I use live view for low angles.

I can't prove it rigorously but I think this is wrong.

I only use manual as well. There are probably situations where you want to use other semi-automatic settings though.

I've been using manual for years

I use live view with a tripod because then I can zoom in & manual focus easier

I mean it's not like I'm collecting lenses for fun, everything I have fits a specific need and I use them all frequently
I simply have no need for any of the limiteds that isn't covered by what I have already
