It seems to me that our more automated cameras may enhance the process of
producing fine photos. Stay with me on this (g). If one is shooting a fluid
scene, sports, children, any action; the more automated AF, Program mode
cameras in the hands of a photographer who knows how to use them would free the
photographer up to compose and shoot better photos.
I wager that most of us who have OM-2 and OM-4, etc. use the auto mode more
than manual. We can control depth of field and aperture while being cognizant
of the shutter speed that results from a given aperture setting. Thus, little
if any math or detailed thought process regarding aperture and shutter speed
gets in the way of the "creative process".
In the time I have had my OM-4t I may have used the manual mode twice. I find
the auto mode to be easier and it does free me up to "get the shot." This is
especially true with children who are elusive as heck.
Just my 2 cents worth.
