Did you check your manual for the compatible cards for your camera?

Totally totally correct and I agree wheheartedly! Thank you, John!
My last reply because everyone has their own definition of Art. Ansel Adams used his camera as a palette and planned his photos laboriously in order to get the right blend of light and shadows; and then he spent hours in the darkroom creating bona fide 'works of Art'. I respect your opinion, but I believe there is a big difference between snapshots, photographs, and 'works of art'.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
Not nice, traderjohn! How about Ansel Adams...and many many more photographers who labor over their work to create beautiful things of beauty!
I'm in awe at some of the works displayed here...Looks like Art to me!
GORGEOUS!!!...ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!!
Sorry....I couldn't leave it at that! I checked my 7100 at 140MM again, and the P setting was f5.6 1/1000 (It's a little sunnier now, than two hours ago). I then checked both my D80 and D7100 at 135mm and both P results were f9 1/1250, iso 100. There must be some variables between your camera and lenses and mine. I have no problem reading the numbers on both of my Nikons and both zoom lenses, and they definitely are what they are!
Bottom line is that the P settings do not always agree with the 'sunny 16' rule! And I love my cameras and I'll stick with Manual!
Well.....Thanks!
Have a nice sunny day!
You are so right, Elmer! I just did a test with my 7100 from my very sunny terrace here in very sunny Aventura, Florida. I set manually, iso 100, f16, 1/100. The meter was perfect at 140mm, and changed slightly when I zoomed down to 18mm. Still at 100 iso, I switched to P. At 140mm, it registered f5.6 and 1/800! At 18mm, P gave me f9 and 1/320. So, the answer to the question as to the similarity of the settings between the 'sunny 16' rule used manually, and the totally automatic 'P' setting, is absolutely....NO!!! However, I think I'll stick with the majority of you with manual, where you can set your desired aperture and/or shutter, depending on the situation. And I think it's time to put this matter to rest!
Sunny day..
No flash.(unless fill)..f16...1/125th...iso100
Ridiculous with flash unless you're direct and close...4ft or so, to subject
I agree, PhotogHobbyist! I think computers and cell phones have affected both our grammar and punctuation. It's a totally different writing style, much more casual than formal English. It's more conversational, and I think it's just fine for a give-and-take forum like this. I'm learning so much, and I don't give a darn about the spelling, grammar, and/or typos. (A long time ago, I was an English major!)
