All Sifu and Master, mind to share which mode A S M usually all Sifu and Master use for actual day wedding?

[aaronfoo]

A S M ? Asam? lol
but I'll stick with aperture piroty for me.

Day time - Aperture priority mode
Night time - Manual mode
Funky creative time - Shutter priority mode

So, to answer you - all modes are useful if you know how and when to use them. :)

So do you use C1, C2 & C3 on your 40D? :P

[jayhan]

tried to. still going thru the manuals for that :P
so far the 3 modes : A, P and M is more than enough to keep my hands busy

[cucubud]

I'll use M or P mode with flash.:)

[skysaw]

Ok, get all liao. Thanks!!

Depends on the lighting/action/event.

I'd say most the time I use A maybe 70% then when the ambient level is fixed or I'm strobing I'll use M about 25% then about 5% on S when I want a certain movement effect.

Concerning flash, do we stick to ETTL and just fire away bouncing of ceiling? I know that wedding photography is a fast fast world where you do not have much time to compose at times.

So how do you juggle setting the flash,camera and stuff like that?

Just stick to P/potrait mode/Av and keep flash on ETTL?:rolleyes:

The ambient exposure won't be changing.

Usually use M to get low shutter speed (lower than 1/60 fixed by Av) and can use flash in Manual (maybe 1/8) or iTTL.
