I see. And agree completely... I leave mine in Shutter Priority set to 1/500 sec for the 70-200mm and 1/250 for the 24-70mm with the ISO high enough for the lighting situation to avoid under exposure. I use these while shouldering the cameras, like you suggest, and change the Exposure mode when I begin a shoot.
