w44neg Posted January 5, 2016 Share #2 Posted January 5, 2016 P,A,S,M is totally down to the way you want to shoot. There's no right or wrong for most situations. Aperture priority is a good starting point, shutter priority is useful for situations where you want to freeze or blur the subject, and manual is good for when you want to take full control. P mode is basically automatic. The camera becomes a computer and decides everything for you. I use aperture priority mostly as I find it suits my types of photography best.

ramarren Posted January 5, 2016 Share #3 Posted January 5, 2016 Said another way, the exposure mode you use is completely independent of the capture mode (whether you save the exposures to JPEG or raw files, or both). Think about it: For a given scene, there is only a small range of acceptable exposures that would be deemed "correct". The purpose of any exposure mode is to have the camera behave the way you need it to to fit the scene's dynamics and get that correct exposure. Whether that is program automatic, aperture or shutter priority AE, or fully manual settings should be a choice you make based on the scene and shooting situation. Whether you save the exposure as a JPEG or a raw file depends on other factors, for example, how much editing you might want to do, whether you want more flexibility in setting the white balance, and so forth.

ropo54 Posted January 7, 2016 Share #4 Posted January 7, 2016 Nonetheless, Aperture mode is somewhat limited due to the zoom lens quickly changing its maximum capacity aperture during the zoom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
