That's exactly why some of us like the Hyper-Program mode (as found on the *ist-D, or the PZ-1p). Switching to Av or Tv isn't a matter of moving the mode dial (which isn't all that conveniently situated); you just have to use the shutter (or aperture) control to set the value that you want, and the camera switches modes automatically.
