Go to the PDF version of your Nikon camera and search for Flexible Program. The answer is there.

In reference to our cameras that's typically the way Program shift mode is identified on many cameras. Most modern cameras come with exposure modes PASM.
P = Program mode
A = Aperture priority
S = Shutter priority
M = Manual
P* is the Program mode with the shift function active. In Program mode the camera will meter the scene and then use an algorithm to select both a shutter speed and f/stop for exposure. The shift function typically allows the user to turn a wheel and, while keeping the exposure constant, select a different combination of shutter and f/stop.

Ohhhhh...
A context was inferred.
Context, what a concept.

I believe that "A bean is a bean and a P is a P, however, sometimes a P is a relief"

Fear of P mode defeats more photographers than any other setting on their camera, followed closely by Exposure Compensation.

Interesting. I use P mode the most.
(I can't tell what percentage as I don't keep track of what modes I use. I simply use them as desired.)

Your P is more useful!

I also occasionally use P mode when I'm in a situation where I don't what to fiddle with the exposure settings. P mode is close to full auto, but P* gives you the ability to modify the mix between shutter speed and aperture for the same exposure. It is a useful mode at times but usually I shoot in manual and sometimes in aperture so I have much more control over the final images. P* could also be a useful first step for someone transitioning from full auto who wants a bit more control over their images as they learn how to get the best from their camera.

I use P* mode most of the time with all my cameras. I'm a stickler for complete control over exposure and P* mode provides that along with efficiency.
