Most of the shots I take are hand-held, the HDR shots 'usually' are
tripods
jobs, but many are shots which just pop up out of the blue and have to be
taken hand-held, and this is where the continuous drive mode coupled with
the AE bracketing is so great to be able to use, since without it, things
would be much more difficult.
