While you may just point the camera...it comes with a train load of baggage from past experience. I don't know of any instance where these don't get factored in, i.e. format, film, lens choice, shutter speed, and f-stop. The combination of those produce the binding elements so necessary for the clarity of the message in the end product. Even during a deft, and possibly intuitive, usage of the equipment there will still will be some mental consideration about what to do, and with what and how.
