Maybe it's because I'm only on my second cup of coffee, AG, but I'm
afraid I got lost on this one. First of all, I've never considered
"bright, direct sunlight" to be "tricky lighting". Often undesirable
but not tricky. But what I really don't understand is why, after having
set a proper manual exposure, I'd want to switch to auto.
Perhaps you're talking about dealing with a mix of shade and bright sun
with the camera wandering between the two? Or perhaps clouds playing
tag with the sun? I think maybe that's what you meant but it's not what
I read.
