Here is a VERY short explanation of MASP:

M = Manual Mode.
A = Aperture Mode
S = Shutter Mode
P = Program Mode

The rest is in your owners manual. :)

When starting out, leave it in Program Mode for now. As you progress, switch to Aperture Mode. Just don't get ahead of yourself in your enthusiasm to learn. It takes time, bud.......no way around it. In the meantime, get out there and have fun taking pics......and let's see what ya got! :) Welcome to Nikonites. :) In the immortal words of Schultz...'You vill learn, und you vill like it!' :)
