Do any of you out there use the "M" setting, at least for interiors? Maybe since I'm used to estimating exposure with meterless cameras, I shoot digital on manual most of the time, especially indoors. This way I don't have to second guess the "brain" to keep the values on the subject consistent, no matter if there are lights in the frame, or a dark background, etc. Much of my work is in unchanging light, so I use the histogram to confirm my choice of settings. I hate having to use buttons to hold exposure for each shot.
