Shutter priority vs Manual

Posts should come with an automatic disclaimer: "anything I type in this box is my own personal preference and can be ignored as you see fit". B58Hustlers note made me think about some of the things I noticed, but the bottom line is that if you want 10 opinions, just line up 10 photographers. And they all take lovely pictures!

Gosh! I’m glad that this thread wasn’t published back in the last century when I bought my first digital camera.

Should anyone give a damn about how I cobbled images over the last twenty or more years, I generally use shutter and carry a quick reference manual to scan through when I forget which of all the buttons I should be using.

My first 35mm camera was a Wehrmacht? Please forgive my poor spelling

I have always got to know my cameras, how they work and use the appropriate settings. If I'm happy with the result then it worked. If not I check the exif and work it out for next time.

Hi All,

What would be advised for fast jets, shutter priority or manual?

I don't do jets enough to know, so would be grateful of any advise.

Many thanks!

I use manual now, but previous to that I would use shutter priority. I like to be able to control the shutter especially for fast jets.
