When Should Mode 'M' on Cameras Used?

"Users of digital cameras will look silly if still using M mode (Manual)," he said Sari or Marrysa Tunjung nicknamed Sasha early in his workshop sessions.

But of course this statement applies to certain conditions, especially for journalism scene where a photographer should not miss the moment just because it's too long to do the settings.

Almost all camera range now has a lightmeter, that's stated reasons for his statements. With Av mode / A / F (depending on camera brand) or Tv / S, users have gotten the camera settings easier.

With Av, photographers live set opening, being shutternya will follow automatically. Contrary to the Tv, shutternya are set by the user, while the aperture or opening will follow.

So, when we should use the mode? There are three conditions where M suitable for use, namely:

1.Underwater

M mode suitable for use here because the particles in the water varies considerably.

2. studio

Lighting in the studio already fixed (not changing), so that users wear suitable Manual mode.
