Auto settings for DSLR's

http://www.exposureguide.com/camera-modes.htm

This is a link to a page about how the different settings on DSLR cameras work and the effects they have. Although it’s always my intention to shoot on manual settings I still think it’s a good thing to learn all the settings on my camera and how they work I think in general the better understanding I have in how my camera works the better images I can capture not just for photography and for filming. A good thing about reading this page is knowing I can set the camera to certain settings to get a good photo if I was struggling to capture in on manual settings another good thing is I can capture images on the different auto settings and then see what the camera is reading the settings as to get a better understanding of how the camera captures certain images. For example I have in the past had problems shooting fast moving images on manual settings although I am getting better the more I practise I think it will always prove useful to set the mode to sport mode which sets the camera to shoot sport and quick action photography and see what the camera says the best settings are. Then after doing that I can set the settings on manual to get the images I personally feel work better for me using my light meter and also my previous understanding of settings as well as the understanding  I have learned from setting the camera setting to sport mode. This is only an example of how I could use the auto settings to help me capture better shots on manual settings but the more I use both the less I would have to rely on the auto settings but as mentioned earlier it’s a useful sight that has helped me realise some settings I wasn’t aware the camera was capable of.
