>>2574090>>2574096>>2574100Manual is a shit mode. I use it only when I do multi shot for a panorama or HDR and need to be sure some settings are locked while I change others.
P mode is my favorite. You can fight me about that. P is like the best of A and S together and allows you to quickly set your needed aperture or your needed shutter speed with one dial.
I use a Sony and don't have an option to set a minimum shutter speed. If this option existed, I would probably never use A and S ever again.
