+1, planner is great and all, but I know better sometimes, let me tell it so and have it listen.

Nothing like the planner deciding it knows better at some random time in production because of data changes.

The argument from the camera folks goes like this:

Why should a camera's software written 5 years ago in Japan/China/Taiwan choose for me with the lighting conditions I have right now in Seoul at 2:30 in the morning?

That's why most professional prefer to use a manual mode. Auto is often used as a first suggestion (but not a very good first suggestion).
