As someone who occasionally does professional photography/ filming, the auto setting on your camera is fine if you're just snapping pics. Where you'd want manual is if you were taking a larger series of photos and wanted to apply the same effects/ processing to the batch.

As someone who never did photography professionally but as a hobby, I learned the manual settings when automatic failed to take a good photo.

You're totally right, but I would also say this is a great point for understanding/ learning photo editing software. More as a tool in your pocket so that when you don't get a nice photo, you know what is or isn't fixable.

the automatic setting might give you 1/30 of a second when photographing fast moving animals or 1/500 with aperture 2.8 when photographing landscapes, neither of which will give you good photos :/

Aperture, shutter speed and ISO aren't very hard to understand and applying them correctly will give you a lot better photos.

There is also semiautomatic modes which allow you to specify part of that triad without needing to exactly know how best to adjust all three.

I figure it depends mostly how much time you have to take your shot. Though im not sure how fast someone can get with manual mode with practice.

Yes, semiautomatic are what you should use most of the time really.

Agreed! I was surprised how easy it is to learn the basics, it really does help if you want to get better photos.

Fwiw, the book Understanding Exposure was a nice entrance to photography basics for me... Really helped nail down what aperture, shutter speed, and ISO are for...
