I am just starting out and not sure if I should stick with auto mode or force myself to learn manual settings right away.

Auto is fine at the start but manual teaches you much faster.

I learned more in a week using manual than months on auto.

A mix works well start with auto then tweak settings gradually.

Understanding exposure is key so manual helps build that knowledge.
