i know for certain after playing with mine a little bit that I can squeeze quite a bit more out the camera in the manual or partial manual modes vs auto-mode. i just need more experience to get that in control... |
Most people I have talked to use Aperature or Shutter priority mode to shoot most of the time. Using full manual mode is good for when you need precise control over all settings and the more you use it, the more quickly you will be able to adjust shutter and aperature on the fly in manual.
RAW files enable you to edit the photos without any loss in quality. Every time you edit JPEGs, you diminish the quality of the picture slightly.
