35mm cameras typically do not have any “modes” except for P=Program, A=Aperture Priority, S=Shutter Priority and M=Manual.
All of the N series cameras are good cameras for amateur photographers (Nikon’s version of the old Canon AE-1 but new of course) and as a backup or “field” camera for professionals.
There may be an issue if you ever want to shoot IR film. Some of the N series cameras infrared frame counter located near the take up spool inside the camera. Canon EOS and some Sony/Minoltas as well.
If you are going to shoot IR film you will need to get a older F100 or even F4 (one of my favorite).
