I used to use P mode predominantly, but changed to TAv a few years ago. This will deliver the convenience of the former and the power of the latter. Nice. And M mode is thrown in as a bonus!
I think this will help those new to the world of DSLR'S or perhaps even Pentax. They can start in the Program mode and as they get a little more comfortable with the camera, can start to try the other settings without changing the normal settings dial.
If they lose their way, one push of the Green button and they are back to "P" mode and can start again and not get flustered (if their knowledge is not great). As a predominantly Equine Event Photographer, this probably won't be of much use to me but
more for street photographers or perhaps landscape photographers who suddenly spot some wild life whilst out photographing.
