Thanks for reponding. I found the P mode while playing with the different settings on the A1400. I also have a Canon A1200, which I prefer because it has the "Mode" setting knob on top. It was probably removed from the A1400 for "cost saving" reasons...
But how does one get to P mode in A1400. I'm not certain how ot do this. Manual just says to go to P mode without being specific. It's very confusing. I liked the old Canon system with selection wheel on top of camera.
