I've just tried the P mode on my E-PL2 and it's a bit of a pain. The mode
itself works fine, but the shift works only for the current exposure
measurement: as soon as you change the scene the shift goes.
A mode has always worked very well for me, requiring a quick change of the
aperture to adjust the overall setting.
And my Pentacchio has an ISO-priority setting which is fun, especially as noise
is so very well controlled to pretty high settings.
