[QUOTE="nickt, post: 162431, member: 4923"] Well, you have already taken a first step in desiring to change focus modes from what Auto chooses. Auto almost always also wants flash and puts you in auto-iso. P will work fine. I suggest to use manual iso for now in P mode. Try for the lowest iso possible that still gives you an acceptable shutter speed. You can quickly boost iso as needed. At some future point when you learn how high of an iso you are willing to accept, then you could try auto-iso with limits that you define. Same as film, higher iso is prefered if you have enough light. 'P' makes good choices for everyday shooting. As you review your shots, start thinking if you would have rather had a slower or faster shutter speed or more or less depth of field/blurred background. When you start having those thoughts, its time to try Aperture or Shutter priority. [/QUOTE]
