I'm not sure who Moin is, but I've never shied from replying to emails addressed to someone other than me.... I think that a large part of the skill of using a camera is to know when to use what level of automation. If I'm shooting action under variable lighting, I'll often use an automatic exposure mode because that'll give better exposure for more photos than staying in manual mode. I find that TAv mode is perfect for this. I set the shutterspeed and aperture I need and get the best ISO that I can. I find that if I really care about a shot, the process that works the best for me is to treat the histogram as a handheld lightmeter. I'll take a few shots to dial in the exposure. Once I've got it set, it usually works for any subsequent shots I take in that location. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
