  1. I teach Photography for 15 years… P is very bad for beginners, either we care more about Apperture or we care more about Speed, I advise A/AV, S/TV or M, depending on what you are shooting… I can see some specific uses for P, in quick paced events where your priorities change constantly, but it takes some experience to keep on top of it.. Avoid P Mode…

  2. Thank you for making a reasonably long good explanation! I hate all those videos explaining something simple but still are over 10 minutes long just because it increases ad revenue.

  3. I am literally using that mode the next few days to experiment when doing general out and about photography on my Nikon d300s.There is the option of exposure compensation as well. Using RAW 14 bit.

  4. I use mostly aperture mode and only a few times shutter or manual mode for specific situations.

    Now I tried out the P mode a bit and have to say, that I don't see a big difference between P and A Mode (sony alpha 6100)

    In both modes I can pick my aperture and the shutter gets set automatically. If I set a fix ISO the shutter is always the same in both modes, if i set ISO to Auto, there is a bit difference… The aperture mode sets the ISO usually a little bit higher and the shutter a bit faster then the P mode.

    Is there any big difference between this both modes that I don't see? So far i could not pick one over the other.

  5. So, for those who say this is just another "auto mode" im guessing they are totally wrong?
    Ive been out all day today using this mode with my Canon 6D and a couple of L series lenses plus my nifty fifty.
    You can control 3 things.
    You can dial in the ISO you need for the conditions, and Ive found that on a sunny day with ISO 100 the camera returns F4 for a shutter speed that allws me to handhold
    You can then adjust the aperture and the shutter speed simultaneously to select the desired setting for the given subject.
    you can control the exposure compensation dial, if you need to brighten or darken the scene.

    So where is this supposed "auto" mode thats simply for "beginners" trust me its a lifesaver if you need to "run & gun" and capture those moments that so many photographers keep talking about . . . .

    To use this mode so you dont have to constantly fiddle about with your settings on manual, you have to have an understanding of the "focal plane" for aperture selection and also the lens "focal length" rule for handheld shooting

    hardly a beginners mode is it?

  6. i have a question i have a canon t7i and want to use self timer but usually when i change the shutter speed the pictures come out blurry only on self time mode please help! Idk what to do and im so frustrated

  7. I use P mode quite a lot, I use it as iso mode on the a7iii, you set minimum shutter speed, you can set max iso, I have found it works well when I am struggling to keep the noise levels on pictures down. Maybe look at the northrups p is professional mode video. Great video a lot of info in a short time, but there is a lot more to this mode as I am sure you are aware

  8. Box head Mike new nickname “Duracell/Energizer Bunny” Mike; steady stream of lockdown posts while other channels go “grey” or lapse into “self-pity” mode.👍 Not your usual A7III; assume has to do w/flash demo. Don’t use P mode, but am intrigued/puzzled by the “P*” mode icon that toggles on/off with “P” during settings changes. Manual calls it “Program Shift” but is rubbish at explanation other than cryptic ref to low light. Any advice?

  9. Hah,hah – a "lightbulb" moment. Mike! From now on I am going to think of "P" mode as "ISO" mode! Still doubt if I'll ever really use it, though but I will play around with it just to test it out for fun. The best thing that I ever did was to only use Manual mode for a year and really get to understand the basics of the exposure triangle. These days I am letting myself shoot in Aperture mode once again but now I control my ISO ( not just put it in Auto) and get much better results. I also like to shoot in full Manual when I have a still subject, time or have trouble focusing. There are some benefits to not being able to get out of the house! I am steeling myself for a grocery run! Hope you are doing well and stay safe.

  10. This was great, Mike. I have never snapped a frame on My Sony A7iii in Auto or P Mode. I don't say that like some badge of honor, I just watched so much training online prior to purchasing my camera, that I went straight to Aperture or Shutter Priority and then to Manual. I really need to make a point of playing with those, just to see what the differences are, in case I ever want to use them or if I ever hand my camera to someone else to take a photo. I hope you and your wife are continuing to do well, brother. Hopefully, we are getting close to finally getting back to a more normal world.
