There really is not difference in using the A mode or the manual mode, as you still have total control of aperture and shutter and can use the +/- to fine tune to your liking. It is just faster in most cases to turn one control (aperture)instead of two controls (aperture and shutter). So I don't consider the Aperture, Shutter or Manual mode as being any different. You are still in control. There is a big difference in the A mode and the programmed mode, where you have absolutely no control. You don't control the camera, it controls you.
