Knowing How to Use M (Manual) Mode In Camera

Digital camera users will look silly if still using M mode (Manual)..

But of course this statement applies to certain conditions, especially for journalism scene where a photographer should not miss the moment just because it's too long to do the settings.

Almost all camera range now has a lightmeter, that's stated reasons for his statements. With Av mode / A / F (depending on camera brand) or Tv / S, users have gotten the camera settings easier.

The camera vendor figured it by presenting these modes. With Av, photographers live set opening, being shutternya will follow automatically. Contrary to the Tv, shutternya are set by the user, while the aperture or opening will follow.


So, when we should use the mode? There are three conditions where M suitable for use, namely:

1.Underwater
Manual mode suitable for use here because the particles in the water varies considerably.

2. Studio
Lighting in the studio already fixed (not changing), so that users wear suitable Manual mode.

3. Long Exposure
Manual mode is also used when users want a decent long exposure to the sights, sea, or the city scape.

Manual mode is the mode in which users set up their own all the necessary settings such as the diaphragm (aperture) and shutter speed.

Good luck!
