I think of it like driving a stick shift car. Since you are always shifting(metering a few important points and then setting th exposure that captures them best) all the time, it becomes second nature.

If you are used to driving in "auto", then when you have to shift to 1 or 2 for a hill, you will have to think more about it and them may forget to put it back in drive. fod forbid you should accidentally shift into reverse while rolling forward.

Of course for much of your driving an auto transmission is fine and is particularly for freeway stop and go traffic(happy party snaps with auto flash). But if you want to be a pro driver on the circuit, you will have to get that formula 5D and use manual.
