![]() I estimate that in 70 percent of the scenarios I encounter, manual mode with Auto ISO is my preference. Not every camera offers a manual mode with Auto ISO and exposure compensation, but most of the newer bodies do. Here’s why I prefer the manual modes for most of my encounters with wildlife around the world. I switch to full manual for specific scenarios where I want or need full control of my camera. To do that, I rely mostly on manual with Auto ISO, adding exposure compensation when needed. ![]() My best results come from being able to adapt to fast-moving subjects and changing weather and light quickly while retaining the control I need to make the image I am envisioning. ![]() There is no one right answer, but if you check my cameras, you will find them in either manual mode with Auto ISO enabled or full manual most of the time. I choose my shooting mode based on my subject and environment, how quickly the light is changing, and my personal preferences. “Is shutter priority a good choice?” Or, “Do I always need to use manual?” Since choosing the right shooting mode can mean the difference between capturing a compelling wildlife image and missing the shot entirely, it’s important to know the options. My photo tour clients frequently ask which are the best camera settings for wildlife photography. Photographing birds in flight requires a quick assessment of subject, environment and light to determine best shooting mode.Ĭameras typically have four main shooting modes-Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority and Manual-represented by the letters P, A, S and M.
