For most any camera using the manual mode will let you get the most out of it. Granted, that is likely more true with the V20 because the auto mode does have some drawbacks like over aggressive noise reduction and favoring a high ISO setting over a longer shutter speed in low light. This has lead to many reviews (which almost always test only the auto mode) severely docking camera performance.
In my opinion, the V series is marketed as a phone for content creators, not point and shooters. It's also why I prefer it, because I'm someone that wants the added control. Plus you can still use it as a hybrid auto/manual in manual mode by still letting it pick the exposure values. The benefit here is by saving as RAW, the camera does the heavy lifting taking the shot then you can edit the RAW as you wish and get around the noise reduction issue.
