That does not sound right, I have the preferred profile saved on my M240 
same as I have on the M9 and Monochrom. As for intuitive, I suspect you may 
have become used to Japanese options as I personally find them far less 
intuitive ;-)

The M240 has the simplest menu of any digital camera I've used.  The Canon
5D and 1DMII have menus within menus and you never get to the end of them.
I don't ever set anything on my M240 except Auto ISO and Auto lens
detection.  Sometimes I format a card.  Sometimes I set the time and date
if I've traveled across date lines.  That's it.

Just not intuitive, what's worse is that once you set up a profile, so you 
can be done with it, it doesn't stick...
