use auto to learn manual

DPS has another terrific idea.

I think this is a great idea for anyone intimidated by learning all the bells and whistles of manual shooting all at once. Try Auto or a specific basic mode, shoot, note the settings, plug the same settings into manual mode and tweek from there to start to explore the relationships between aperture, shutter speed and ISO.


I often do something similar in unusual light situations just to get a starting point and make adjustments based on my results.
