No settings in Canon Powershot sx610 hs

[Mifa]

I just thrifted a Canon Powershot sx610 hs and when I wanted to switch to program instead of auto. However, when I press the “FUNC/SET” button, it only shows “self-timer” and “movie quality”. So can anyone help me? I wanna be able to find setting such as ISO or white balance.

You need to be in P mode

Here is a selection (1 page out of 3) of what you can set. Note that P mode allows you to set everything

Hi, what would you do if the camera switch was able to move up and down, but it isn't going into P mode? Any guesses on what you think it is? I'd love to know!

Are you setting the Mode Switch to Auto?

Have you downloaded the manual?
