Yes. I have to learn how to do all that, and practice. These cameras have too many settings, compared to my old reflex: diaphragm, speed, distance (plus zoom). Half automatic, I think. I knew how to do handle those ;-)
Unlike some of the consumer/point-and-shoot models, your's has the ability to "go manual"
True. That's one of the reasons I wanted one. But it is not the kind of "go manual" that I'm used to. One of the things that confuses me is that digital cameras can adjust ISO settings. With film, you did the choice when purchasing the film. Professionals carried several cameras sometimes for this reason. I still do not know how the camera can adjust the sensitivity of the sensor :-?
While you may want to turn all automatics off, its not always a good idea.
Absolutely!
Specific cases might want the "programmed' mode and manual focus; or "aperture priority" to control DoF. Sometimes leave autofocus on and do manual exposure.
I was fortune in that I grew up with the semi-automatics like the Canon A1. I could use the "programmed" and concentrate on focus/composition. So now I have a better idea of when to use which "smart" function.
