Canon S95 point of focus in M/Av/Tv/P?!?!

[Michiyo-Fir]

I just picked up a Canon S95 for portability and concerts that don't allow DSLRs, however, I'm having a problem.

In the M/Av/Tv/P mode, I can't seem to move the point of focus from the middle of the camera. Sure I can focus and reframe, however, during concerts or shooting animals, by the time I've reframed the person/animal has already moved from that position. Also when I shift the camera it's difficult for me to keep my camera in the exact same plane causing some pictures to be slightly out of focus.

Any one have any suggestions to change the settings or a technique I can use to prevent half my pictures from being out of focus??

What does the manual say about it?

The manual is too confusing for me. From reading online, people have said that it's not possible to move the autofocus point of the camera.
