Mostly in shutter priority, and I look at what aperture it gives me and adjust the speed accordingly.
When I know the camera will give me a satisfying speed, I sometimes go with aperture priority.

The only time I wanted to shoot manual I was totally in the dark and couldn't find how on my camera :rolleyes:
And as for A_DEP I just realized I had this option after reading other posts....
What the hell is it? :o

basically the a-dep mode is supposed to be used to get everything on the frame that is covered by your af points in focus.

I use M in 99% of the cases.... maybe some P for shots that aren“t important to me, just like veilside said.

Av most of the time
M for when using flash, both on and off camera
Tv rarely when I am trying to pan or catch something in speed

i used to shoot manual all the time, but then i moved to AV and now i use M only pretty rarely. sometimes when i need to shoot alot in same light i might take few test shots with av and meter from what i want to be metered at 0, check what shutter speed it gives and change to M.

i recently learned how to use multi spot metering and im pretty sure i will be using it most the time with AV now, because i can get really accurate exposures with it.

M - Artistic shots and when I like to play a little with the details.
Av - Wildlife and when I am in a hurry.
