Jens,
This is basically what I wrote - When in Program mode if
you move either the shutter selector or aperture ring it will put you in the
respective priority mode and then moving the other will take you to Manual.
To go back to Program you need to put the aperture back to A and press the
green exposure mode button in the front - . Maybe it was not so clear. I
was informed and see on the booklet that the HOLD is for keeping the shutter
speed constant and avoiding accidental setting. There may be more, but it
seemed to work like my Super Program - I notice that though I thought that I
did not write it in my assessment.
