Christine I have to say that P mode (the automatic setting) really isnt an ideal setting to use. Here you are completely at the cameras mercy and it can often get it quite wrong. I find that P mode often tends to overexpose more often than not. You need to get more control of your camera and that means learning what is going on with your settings. AV is a good mode to start in as it will select the shutter speed for you when you select the exposure. I could go on but really it is better to learn some basics of photography first. Im sure there must be a thread about that on here somewhere.
