I am having brain fade trouble with my original Canon 1D in the P mode.
When I half-depress the shutter button while in P mode, and rotating the dial next to the shutter button; it should change the shutter speed. But it doesn't change and stays on 1/60.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Do you have a speedlight attached and on?

The dial next to the shutter button changes the aperture. The thumb wheel changes the shutter speed as Exposure Compensation. There might be a custom function to switch that but I don't recall.

I believe that in P mode it uses a max sync speed of 1/60 second. If you go into Av mode, you can either use the flash for fill, or use it at 1/250 second (automatically set by the camera). You could also use it in Manual mode. I've found lately that I rather like using Manual mode when I want the flash to be the primary light source.

Hmm I didn't have my Speedlite attached when I posted last time but when I mount it, the Mark II defaults to 1/60th from ISO50-400, then goes to 1/80th for ISO500, then 1/100th for ISO640, and 1/125th from ISO800 and up. With the Speedlite attached it does not let me change the shutter speed and aperture is controlled by the thumb wheel.

Idiosyncrasies like this are why I generally stick with Manual or at least Av.

Same with my camera, cdifoto.
Think Brad figured it out with max sync @ 1/60 in P mode.
I can vary shutter in TV.
Thanks to both of you for your help with my "Sanity Check".
The 580EX II is 1 week new to me.

I don't think it's a max sync thing. I think it's just a goofy programming thing. Reason I say that is the shutter speed goes up as ISO is increased.

Back to M for me... :)

I was wrong. It goes to 1/60th as a minimum at those ISO settings in my dark room. Aimed directly at a lamp and it increased as necessary, even with the Speedlite mounted. Makes sense though of course...don't want to overexpose a scene.
