I'm a surf photographer and rely on my camera automatics a lot. They are allowed to move freely within defined limits.

99% of my pictures are technically fine.

I only use full manual if the picture job needs it.

Most of the time setting the aperture is enough (and the camera allows to set the exposure time and ISO automatically, but set limits which to automatics is not allowed to cross). On the other side action/sport photography is mostly shutter time bound - then the other side around.
