Yes, it is truth, I don't like to study.
If you do not study the camera operation and basic photography you will not get ANY IMPROVEMENT in your image quality over running your AX100 in automatic. We have been telling you this for a long time. You have to study or give up and accept the image quality you are getting now from the AX100 that is easy for you to operate. You can even get improvements in that as I have said to you before . On the AX100 set the shutter to manual at 1/100 and let everything else be automatic including ND. Frame the shot and press the start button !!!
In car terms it is like someone who has driven an automatic transmission car and now has a Ferrari sports car with 6 speed manual transmission and is asking people what gear to use !!
