Thanks for that great reply Mike.when I say I don't want to use the "auto" option all the time I didn't mean the semi auto modes like the portraite/landscape/sports and the like.I was just being lazy and using the fully auto option and figured I need to learn what the other option do so I can...

Thanks for that,that is exactly what I thought they might be suited too!.so I'm not too far out then lol
