When the camera is set to P, the aperture is automatic. The dial to the right is your aperture settings. This can be adjusted by selecting the +/- setting and moving the thumb wheel.

This little dial also indicates when you have selected a self-timer mode, long exposure mode, and when the film is rewinding.
