whats the difference between M and P mode?
when in M mode i can change the shutter speed (NR) and then i have F (5.6 or 2.8)
what ISO speed should i use?
M is full manual. You are in control of the shutter and f-stop. P mode is "Program Mode" which is some preset settings for you to take "ideal" pictures in different settings. I might be wrong about your camera having a Shutter or Aperature Priority mode.
There is no "should" when asking what ISO speed you should use. It all depends on what you want. A low ISO will be less sensative to light. A higher ISO will be more sensative to light. With a low ISO, you get less noise pickup. With a high ISO, you get more noise pickup.
