(which means you have to half-press the shutter then turn the thumb dial). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobey bilek Posted December 23, 2013 Share #3 Posted December 23, 2013 seems difficult. Shoot manual and forget all the gimmicks . Seems to me it is harder trying to override auto features than if you just took pics manually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like manual focus becomes "automatic" when you use it all the time and you never have to worry about the camera picking the wrong focus point. You need no override when you stay in control.

NJH Posted December 23, 2013 Share #5 Posted December 23, 2013 On the M8 and I assume every M since the M7 I found two ways of achieving the same end result. 1) Move the camera up and down/left right or whatever across a scene when in A mode and watch the shutter speed picked by the camera change then half press the shutter when happy to lock at the exposure you want 2) Half press the shutter to lock exposure then open or close the aperture on the lens I very rarely used 2 but used method 1 all the time, practically every shot when outdoors. Its probably quicker to shoot in manual and learn what the light is doing but I am not there yet as I am finding with my new to me M6. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecar Posted December 23, 2013 Share #6 Posted December 23, 2013 Also, make sure you don't use A and have Auto ISO on at the same time, as the results can sometimes be unpredictable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IWC Doppel Posted December 25, 2013 Share #8 Posted December 25, 2013 I personally choose 1/3 stop under to avoid blowing highlights adjust using the meter in camera knowing the area it chooses to expose for. Over the years I have got to understand this and adjust with my understanding, I'm not sure now if adding the -1/3 has helped at all or simply modified my adjustments and understanding. I do use a light meter as well to tweak from a known setting using changes in EV, saves reading the meter in camera if all is set in advance and the lighting changes and you need to be quick. I could use auto I just don't trust it ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erl Posted December 26, 2013 Share #9 Posted December 26, 2013 Most of the advice above is valid, but there is always an exception. The skill is in recognizing that and adjusting for it. Always be flexible in your methods. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamad Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share #10 Posted December 26, 2013 Thank You for info. Most of the time I do the same too. I shoot bit under specially day light here in Middle East is very strong and if any object is over it's normally burnt.
