Aperture Priority vs Flexible Priority.

The manual says about Fv; "In this mode, you can set shutter speed, aperture value, and ISO speed manually or automatically and combine these settings with your choice of exposure compensation.".

I want to understand this more so has anyone got any real-life examples where they've preferred using Fv over Av ... and why?

I tried to like it, I really did but just couldn't get comfortable with Fv. I typically shoot in Av or Manual modes. So for me Fv just didn't work for me. I would have to think about getting back into Av mode or whatever. But a lot of folks love the mode... Its there if you want it, or you can disable it in the menu so you never even see that mode if you hate it.
