Re: are they bad photos?

..... Does this mean that the photos taken with these modes P or Auto, are 'bad' just because I am letting the camera do the work for me?




No, not at all. Anyway, the camera's metering and computer are "doing the work for you" when you use any other mode except M ... if you either use a separate light meter or guess the exposure

Use A mode to get the DoF you want and the camera chooses the shutter speed ... still the camera isn't it?

Use S mode to get the amount of movement you want and the camera chooses the aperture ... still the camera isn't it?

Use P mode and the camera chooses both shutter and aperture but the dial will change the combination as you prefer.

My camera also takes into account the lens type in use, macro, tele, wide etc. and chooses the most suitable range .. maximises DoF on macro and wide and shutter speed with tele ... we pay for all the computing power and facilties of modern cameras ... may as well use them
