Picked one of these up at the start of the week so sorry if the question is a bit daft!

As I understand, when in this (P) mode, the dial on the back is supposed to shift between different combinations of f/stops and shutter speeds but maintain the same exposure. If I want to increase shutter speed I can just dial a few clicks to the right. When I do this on my D40, my P changes to a P* as expected but I see no change to the display of f/stop and shutter in the display or the lcd. Nothing changes in the EXIF either, is this normal or am I doing something wrong?
 
ah, I know i'm in matrix mode so that will be it. Will give it a go when I get home, might as well switch to shutter priority instead though!

Thanks for the reply
 
After taking it oustide I have found it also works fine. I was just at the limits of the lense in low light previously!
