@Grant Robertson I understand not wanting to use a phone to take a shot, and I also do not like it and have a hard time with the screen.
Understanding scenes is a given as you advance your level and experience. That is why I would like the full green Auto to be replaced with a custom scene setting as I mentioned. I already have all 3 custom settings set to what I always shoot, I even have 2 custom recall buttons for 2 additional scenes/environments ready when needed. Especially, when I'm burned out and something caught my eye and want to grab the shot. Because the biggest risk I see with full auto is very low shutter speed, hence my lazy custom setting on shutter priority.
I agree, being professional doesn't mean to always be on manual. All my custom settings are not manual, and that came from trial-and-error. Even my ISO is on auto, unless I'm in a fixed lighting environment.
@Legndz Photography I would rather a flagship to give more customized settings than full auto. 3 custom setting is good, but 5, 6 or 7 like another brand is even better. As a beginner it will feel too much, but as your skills advance, custom settings is like a delegated work that has been agreed on all its aspects before leaving to work or vacation, or a walk.
Many of you have taught new photographers, I just had my first student last month, and I will not argue the need for the auto setting, as I lack experience there. But as a photographer with experience and understanding of my workflow needs of a flagship camera, I believe more custom settings should be added to a flagship camera.
@CarolineJensen this is why I want extra custom settings. If I hand over my camera to someone to take a picture of me with a family member, friend, or a pro athlete (cross my fingers), I want the shot to be a keeper. So I would set the camera to be on steroids to make it easier on a novice. Also I use back button focus, explaining that ruins the spur of the moment.
Don't get me wrong everyone, I'm not saying a "pro" should do this or that. It is only from my experience that I would like more custom settings. And if the cost is removing the full AUTO setting, I would welcome it.
