There's that too. I would have to review how to do manual mode with the 410!
As I said before, lots of ways to skin the cat.
I do use manual mode, especially if I'm using Zs on Es, but I like
aperture priority mode the best. When I'm shooting handheld, which is
almost always the case with the 410, moving and locking in shutter
speed is faster than manual mode if I don't like what the camera
wants. I do that with the E3 too on which there are dials a plenty.
