Re: P Mode on PowerShot: Not possible to change aperture/exposure time?!

Should have explained better ...  Half-press the Shutter button to get exposure on the area required (green box shows steady)... then with the half-press and green box retained by the press.. then ALSO press the Star button. That sets the variable.... now with rotation of the rear wheel you can vary the settings via the extra screen box that comes on show.

On the G15 (I have) and G16 there's nothing wrong at all with use of the P mode - it will give you excellent shots with minimum of fuss AND you can get a quick shot very easily when any delay in making settings can easily lose 'that moment'
