Exposure Preview Is Quietly Killing Your Manual Instincts

Exposure preview is one of those features that feels like progress but trains a bad habit: you stop reading the scene and start reacting to a screen. If you've ever handed your camera to someone and watched them struggle to make a decent frame, or noticed you're lost when shooting tethered or in bright sun where the EVF is useless, this is probably why. Turn it off for a week before your next job. Shoot aperture, shutter, ISO from what you know about the light. Your instincts will come back faster than you think.
