[QUOTE="Paganman2, post: 425095, member: 37668"] P mode normally gives you 2 ways of getting the right exposure, not sure about the physical set up of the d3300/d3200 but on my d7100 there are two dials one in front and one behind the hand grip, in P mode one changes Aperture and the other changes Shutter speed, it is designed to give you the flexibility to move either dependent on if you want to freeze movement(select a lager shutter speed) or have more of the scene in focus landscape etc(use a larger number in the Aperture scale f8-f11 etc). You would normally look at a bar scale either inside the viewfinder, on the top plate screen or on the rear screen, the idea is to get the needle in the center and not to the left(to dark) or to the right (to light), this is done by moving those dials i told you about or in some cameras - buttons. With the Iso setting i assume this extra setting in the P mode allows the auto iso to be switched off and is then intended to be set manually? i assume you just re select the auto iso by reversing what you changed to do this. Hope this helps. P. [/QUOTE]
