Auto vs Manual — Let’s Make It Make Sense
Last week I shared a video breaking down the difference between Auto Mode and Manual Mode, and so many of you said it helped — so this carousel is your follow-up cheat sheet to actually understand what those modes are doing inside your camera.
Auto Mode is great when you just need to grab the shot.
Manual Mode is where the magic happens when you want to control the light, the mood, and the final look of your images.
If you’ve ever felt confused about when to use which one, save this post and swipe through slowly. This guide will help you stop guessing and start shooting with intention.
