Ask Lyn — Which shooting mode should I choose?

Should you only shoot in manual mode? That's the question Rod sent me this week. I can understand how this issue can be confusing. Many internet photography "gurus" proclaim that you should only shoot in manual mode, and their disciples cling to that advice. Should you? The unsatisfying answer will be ... it depends.   I'll tell you what it depends on in this Ask Lyn episode.
