The "P" mode
A shot from yesterday's practice with the "program" mode on the camera. My settings were 1/30 at F2.8 with ISO1600
P is one of the automatic modes a modern digital camera would provide you. It will first provide you a shutter speed and f-stop combination e.g. 1/125, f5.6 for the photo. However, you can always make adjustment on the combination by turning the dial to left or right. Yet, there is always a limitation on how much choice you can have, such as using f2.8 f-stop because some of the inexpensive lens will not have this "big" f-stop.
