I used to live mostly in A mode, until I realized I can be in what I call "ISO mode" on my camera.
If I set ISO to auto I can manually pick shutter speed and aperture and the ISO automatically adjusts. I use exposure compensation to adjust as needed.
Technically speaking, it's not pure manual, but there are many times when I want to achieve a minimum shutter speed and let ISO compensate.
- slantyyz 7y agoI also used to live mostly in A mode until I got dogs. Nowadays, I find myself shooting in S mode a lot. Having said that, I don't like shooting wide open on a fast lens except in certain circumstances, so like you, I sometimes prefer to set both the shutter and aperture and compensate with ISO. I guess this is a luxury with newer digital cameras than it is with the older ones that had a barely usable ISO 1600.

This is quite a difference from a modern Nikon D5 that can shoot at a maximum ISO of 3,280,000.
