Was on a nature hike recently. Wanted to capture things like birds, flowers, naturescapes, etc. Full tree canopy and shaded at times, wide open and sunny at other. Was a guided hike and I didn’t want to hold up the group. Ended up flipping it to Auto instead of fiddling with shutter/aperture. How does an experienced photographer handle that scenario? I feel so dirty for using it on Auto.
I never used manual anymore when I learned aperture priority is the easiest adn faastest mode. You only need to adjust iso and shutter speed.

You mean you only need to adjust ISO and aperture. Also, exposure compensation is there for the moments when you want to under or overexpose from whatever the camera thought was good.
