I shoot primarily in manual, but will switch to Av some times if light is changing, I also have a couple of custom modes on My canon S5 when I want additional saturation or contrast. I really prefer setting exposure by what I see in the viewfinder or screen, makes me analyze the whole picture and keeps me aware of what the cameras electronics are telling me.

I use M mode all the time because I like playing around with exposures and Depth of Field especially when comes sunset or taking pictures of windows to overexpose the light. Second option would be A for moving objects.

I will use A mode most of the time.
Switch to S mode when I need to capture actions.

M mode most of the time. gives me more freedom to twiddle with the exposure settings. use Tv when the subject or situation won't hold for long

Depending on how fast the action is I usually use M mode especially for landscapes. When the action or light is changing all the time I will switch to Av mode and will rarely go over f4 because of sharpness.

I mostly shoot in P but sometimes change to Auto for the white balance It brings the flowers up whiter

I shoot mostly in P so I can easily change shutter and apature with a quick rotation of the command wheel as the situation needs.

It depends on waht I am shooting most times I use the S mode My camera also has two SP modes. In the case of sunsets and twilight shots I use The preset sunset setting in the SP mode to enhance the color In the case of Shooting Christmes lights I also use the preset night setting for a clearer shot.
