Great post Mark!

Richard for most of my shooting for many years now I use the A setting with
auto iso. So I'm picking the f stop. Though I am Deciding with an additianl
setting on the menu which shutter speed the camera should use until  it gets
too dark then it uses slower ones.

But "locking in" both the f stop and the shutter shutter speed with the "M"
setting can make me feel like I have more control.
Each camera has their auto iso parameters work differently I understand.
