[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 246076, member: 13090"] It sounds like you're simply unclear on how these different modes work on your '5100... Have you sat down and gone over the manual that came with it? If you don't have one, you can Google it; the manual is free for downloading from Nikon's website. I say this because modes "P", "S" and "A" aren't really "manual modes"; I'd call them semi-automatic in that at least one aspect of exposure is determined by the camera's internal processing -- either shutter speed or aperture (and in "P" two aspects are controlled in conjunction with one another) -- in order to produce correct exposure. The third aspect, ISO, is either controlled manually or by the Auto ISO setting in the menu. If you shoot in "M"anual then you set, and control from shot to shot, both shutter speed and aperture. ISO is controlled manually or by the Auto ISO function as you have it set in the menu. [COLOR=#ffffff]......[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
