I am also one for manual mode - to me it's just so much easier than playing with a semi-manual mode (AV, TV) and dialing in exposure compensation constantly for the changing light. Dave

Shooting modes include: Manual, AV, TV, P, etc. While it's true Manual Exposure will get you "manual metering" of sorts - you can dial the aperture and shutter independently - you are actually obtaining your light meter reading by using one of the three modes I listed above not by using the shooting mode.
