[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 544720, member: 6277"] Program modes is actually a good way to shoot many situations. You seem to have the idea down pretty good. If you pay attention to what you are doing it can take the place of Aperture Priority or Shutter Priority by turning the control wheel as you have seen. Setting the ISO to Auto and carefully setting the maximum ISO to a reasonable level and always leaving the minimum at 100 ISO can make it easier to concentrate on what you are shooting as opposed to how you are shooting. Not sure about the D5300 but setting the Minimum shutter speed in my D7100 and D750 both have a Auto setting that will set the minimum shutter speed based on the length of the lens. Mine have a sliding scale so that you can set it faster or slower based on your shooting style. Something for you to look into. I can change from my 14mm to my 150-600 and the camera knows what my minimum shutter speed should be without my having to deal with it. It has saved me several times. I shoot in all modes at different times but for most walk-around shooting it lives in program mode. [/QUOTE]
