The manual mode on your digital camera is where the real photographers hang out. In the manual mode we set "F" stop and shutter speed. If you really want to control the light, the exposure, how the picture works you need to learn to use manual. It's not just for the propeller heads and the guys who still shoot film. Manual mode is still viable today even with digital because it's really how you control the look and feel of your picture.
