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

Need info. on this!--------Thanks
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.
