Amy,
My a70 does what you're asking about (displays exposure data on the screen in P mode). From quick look at the a80 manual on Canon's website, it appears that your camera should, too. (Canon manuals are at: http://www.powershot.com/powershot2/...er/manual.html ) The only other thing I can think of is that the screen needs to be on before you start taking the picture (I sometimes keep mine off to save batteries). The DISP button cycles the screen through Off / On / On-showing-options. If my camera is in one of the on modes, I'll see the exposure data on the screen during focus-lock (shutter release held half-way down). Hope that helps. -jeff- |

Jeff,
Thanks for the info. I actually had my manual out in photography class the other night. It SHOULD perform this function, but mine does not. I'm thinking of visiting a camera store today to see if they might help! My lcd screen is on, and I know what you mean about toggling with the disp button. It does give me the info when I am viewing the pics, but that's already too late! Arrghhh...but thanks for posting anyway. I feel like I'm going crazy with this thing. Hopefully, I'll get it resolved one way or another... Amy |

Well, everyone, I am a moron...lol. I simply was not holding down the button long enough to see the display. Four days of playing around with this camera. Well, I guess I can blame it on two sick babies. A classic case of mommy brain! Thank you SO MUCH for everyone who posted here. Inexplicable human error...enjoy your weekend, everyone!
