[QUOTE="fotojack, post: 307824, member: 16"] The "P" stands for Professional! ;) lol...just kidding. :) It means Program Mode. The "A" means Aperture Mode, the "S" means Shutter Mode, and the "M" means Manual Mode. In Program Mode, the camera makes all the decisions as to how the picture turns out. The Aperture Mode means you select the aperture, the camera does everything else. The Shutter Mode means you select the shutter speed, the camera selects everything else. Manual means you select everything (self explanatory, right? :) ). Take your time, read the manual, books, YouTube videos, etc....it will come to you. Don't rush this. It's part of the fun of learning how to take pictures with what you have to work with. Have fun. :) [/QUOTE]
