[QUOTE="RobV, post: 544681, member: 40570"] With my latest camera (D5300), I have decided to give Program Mode a try, especially after reading the reference manual. ISO is Auto. When I was first playing around with it, I was sitting in my living room, and it didn't appear to work as the manual described. Just now, I stepped outside for the first time, and voila!, as I turn the control dial, shutter speed and f-stop change in relation to each other as described! Did I miss something in the manual? Is Program Mode only for situations with plenty of light? I have no problem using Aperture, Shutter and Manual. Those I understand. I can't say enough good about that Reference manual. I looked at the downloaded User manual, (I did not get a book with my refurbished camera), and I doubt I will look at it, again. Too bad the Reference manual is not available to purchase in hardcopy. It would probably be cost-prohibitive to get one copy printed. I guess I just need to take a lot of pictures and learn to use the camera! The D610 I owned briefly, came with the much larger manual. Nikon needs to address this. Some say printed manuals are old hat. I, for one, prefer them. I suppose there is a 3rd party manual that is just as good. I have not researched it, yet. Thanks.
