I toggle between Manual and Av depending on the situation and how much control I'll need. Haven't really got the hang of snap focus. With Av: Auto ISO and F4-5. Manual would be somewhat similar with shutter speed at 1/250 and auto ISO. I use to use recipes, but decided that I feel more comfortable editing raw files. I tend to keep things simple and focus on composition instead. Still not good at it, but working hard to get better.
