Depends. In short: Tv. The long story is: Some Program Mode to begin with. Then I change the values (Hyper Mode) to what I need for the particular situation. Landscapes Mostly f22 or f32. Action shots mostly above 1/250sec. (except if I do want motion blur). For casual shoting (which I do not do very often) I use a program, mostly Normal or High Speed (*ist D), depending on the situation.
I often underexpose deliberatelty to avoid burned out highlights (the curse of digital photography). And I compensate (exp.correction) for a bright (nordic) sky or backlit scenery (+) or for a dark background (+) i.e. conmcert shots. For landscape I use incident metering (handheld meter) I try to bounce flashlight if possible.

Quite literally, I follow the instructions from the camera's manual. I set the film speed dial, and then adjust the shutter speed so that I can get some thing between f5.6 and f11. I try to get the needle as close to the middle as I can. In dark situations, I'll use wider apertures if I can get away with not using a flash. > > 2. Do you shoot digital or film?
