The Nikon "P" mode is a strange one, especially if you are used to the conventional "Programme Shift" mode of other cameras. The Nikon D7000 P mode only allows you to directly adjust the aperture and shutter speed combination by using the main command dial, and only while the exposure meter is active. The sub-command dial (below the shutter release) does nothing. If you adjust the shutter speed/aperture combination until you reach the shutter speed that you have set as the lowest speed limit in "Auto ISO On" the camera will adjust the ISO instead. This is called "Flexible Program" mode and your chosen settings will not be retained once the mode dial is changed to another mode or the camera is switched off. If you set the mode dial to "P" and you don't adjust the settings with the command dial, the camera will select an aperture and shutter speed combination according to the lens focal length, focus distance and the light value, that it's "program" considers appropriate.
