P mode does allow some form of manual override, so you can change the settings the camera chooses in P mode if you want to tweak the exposure a little. How much override is, I think, going to differ from camera to camera. The other camera auto modes Bruce mentioned, like portrait, or landscape, or sports all have slightly different settings. So for sports, the camera will try and select a faster shutter speed to capture the motion, whereas in landscape mode, the depth of field is more important, so it will choose a smaller aperture (larger number). So although it's still an automatic mode, it does use settings that are more suited to the type of picture the camera thinks you want to take.

One question, which it goes in the same direction of Bruce's one. Whats the difference between Auto and P mode? Thank you.
