User/application specific profiles

On the LEICA M9, any combination of all main and
image parameters menu settings can be permanently
stored, e.g. so that they can be retrieved quickly and
easily at any time for recurring situations/subjects. A
total of four memory slots are available for such com-
binations. The names of these four profiles are gener-
ally made up of ten characters. In the factory default
setting, the first is named Profile__1_
1
Profile__2_ , and so on. However, you can change the
preset names on the camera, e.g. to your specific
applications. This makes it easier and quicker for you
to identify and retrieve them.
To simplify the presets, a snapshot profile is also avail-
able (see p. 102/141).
