P, Tv, Av, M - What do you use most?

Mar 26, 2007

Just wondered what you all set you camera to for a majority of your shots.

I know there will be times you will wany a specific look to the picture e.g. DOF or under/over exposing etc.. but I assume you will normally have it set for most of your shots?

I personally use Av most of the time but I'm considering just using P when not in creative thinking mode.

I do however use M only for flash work.
