Program mode vs. auto mode

I was searching google to add to a list of things that you can change while using the 'P' mode when I came across this thread.

The reason I had to register and join was to make something clear which I noticed quite a few people seemed to miss or the information got a little bit confusing after a while.

You CAN change the Aperture while in 'P' mode and the camera would change all the other settings accordingly.
 
I shoot Aperture Priority almost 100% if strobes are not being used and I shoot Manual when I am using strobe. I don't think i've ever shot in Program mode on my camera, seldom use Shutter priority, and the only times the canned scene modes have been used is when I hand the camera off to someone like my mother.
 
You are right.... its called Program shift. In the old days, not all cameras had that function. It still behaves differently than Av or Tv.
