Open Question: Settings for your Canon 10D - Best Way?

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

Kibo informs me that JCL <jcl@earthlink.net> stated that:

As with any photographic situation, it depends on the lighting, the
subject, & the kind of look I want. If there was a particular setting
that /always/ produces "the best pictures", cameras wouldn't need manual
controls at all.
If you are totally non-technical, you might want to stick with all the
'dummy' modes on the dial. That said, 'P' mode can be quite handy if you
want to shoot RAW mode, & you're not too fussed what shutter speed &
aperture settings are used.
