OK, I just had to read up on the Fv mode and tried it out. I'm not sure the usefulness for me. If I'm using studio light/s I use manual. ISO and shutter speed are a constant. Otherwise I'm using Av mode to control DOF, again ISO set to the lighting available. If it's contrasty light I go back to fully manual and not rely on the camera meter to do what it thinks I want. But mostly I'm in Av when doing travel or casual stuff. Even lazy shooting I'm in Av. lol

I'm curious why you would need to switch back and forth on the run. Of course I switch back and forth but I setup the camera for what I'm doing that day or shoot. Even run and gun like at events I use Av out doors or Manual indoors and just let TTL hopefully make good decisions on the fill.

Some people seem to love it and that's great but I must be missing something I guess.

No worries. It's not for me too. In studio for portraits, I use manual. For landscapes, all the more I prefer to use manual. We're the weird ones perhaps 😉
