Re: Panasonic G7: The A and S modes seem to be the same?

I had the same mental block a couple of years ago. It is not just about what you can dial in, it is about how the camera behaves.

Yes, more than one dial may give the illusion of controlling the settings separately but really you are doing the same thing. That does not mean there is no difference.

Dial in your settings, point the camera at different subjects/different light and observe which value is fixed and which changes.

e.g. for a fast moving subject in variable lighting - use S to prioritise shutter speed.
