Answer 1

Most commonly used mode is "P". It's stands for program auto and has ae/af. This program is useful as opposed to full auto due to its controls over shutter and aperture, among other settings. To shoot people, it is advisable to shoot at the largest aperture possible, 2.8 or less is ideal. Shooting at 55mm would also create a more pleasing and satisfying blur than what you would achieve at 18mm. I'm kind of surprised that your site only allows the standard lenses to be used though.
