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.
