'possibly' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'photographers capturing her bum' is the wordplay.
'photographers' becomes 'paps' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'capturing' is an insertion indicator.
'bum' indicates anagramming the letters (bum can mean faulty or wrong).
'her' anagrammed gives 'erh'.
'paps' placed around 'erh' is 'PERHAPS'.

Can you help me to learn more?
