Canon Powershot SX610 HS won't go into P mode

Hi guys, I have boughten this Canon Powershot SX610HS digital camera and I have tried to look up how to put this thing in it's "p mode" I was able to find that out, but the switch on the top right side to get it to the bottom CAN move, but it only either does Hybrid Auto or Creative shot mode. So somehow I am unable to put this thing in P mode and it makes me really sad that I can't. Does anyone have any or maybe this is just my camera's fault? Should I take it in to get looked at? I did buy this secondhand but I wouldn't understand why the software wouldn't be on my camera.

Would appreciate all the tips and comments, thank you guys!

Hello,
It seems the Canon Powershot SX610HS accesses "P mode" through the Scene selection menu rather than the mode switch. Refer to the user manual (pages 49-50) for detailed steps. If the issue persists, it might be a hardware or firmware problem, and professional inspection is advisable.


Best Regards,
