Mark_Cohran Cream of the Crop More info | Jan 16, 2007 12:22 | #36 mantra wrote in post #2550657  I shoot only in P & sometime in av i can't understand why should i shoot in M ok i'm a novice.. for me , is very boring shoot in M , i can obtain the same result in P or AV Really? Try shooting with your flash sometime in P, Av, and M and see how things work out. I think you need to do a bit of reading and practicing yet. EOS Flash works quite differently in each of those modes. But to each their own. Mark

If I don't get them then I switch to M. I have never used any other mode. https://photography-on-the.net …/showthread.php?t=1203740

JKSeidel Member 111 posts Joined Oct 2006 Location: Miami, FL More info | Jan 16, 2007 16:13 | #45 I use the mode that fits the situation with the least fuss and hassles for a given shooting environment and conditions. If it gets the results I'm looking for, I'm going to use it. I'm afraid I can't wax evangelical on any single mode. Jeffrey
