[Leica] Snapshot Profile mode

[bobcatchpole at yahoo.co.uk (bob catchpole)]

Thanks for your comments Philippe. Much appreciated, as I'm new to the list 
and to the Leica M-E.
I hoped my questions would be easy for folks on the list. John now says it's 
"impossible to give definite answers."
Question 1: In the Snapshot Profile mode does the camera only shoot JPEGs? 
Yes or no? That's pretty definite. Anyone know?

Question 2: Is there a risk of accidentally switching on the Snapshot 
Profile mode? Yes or no? Has it happened to anyone on the list?

Question 3: Is there a way of making sure the Snapshot Profile mode can't be 
switched on accidentally? Can it be permanently disabled? Yes or no? Anybody 
know? 
Thanks,Bob

Impossible to give definitive answers as we all work differently, not aware 
of anybody on this list accidently getting their M9 into snapshot mode.... 
In fact, as there are (thankfully) so few options I doubt many use more than 
a single profile, if that.....

John,
Your comments suggest you're not exactly best placed to offer conclusive 
answers! It would be good if others with personal knowledge and experience 
of the issue could respond.
I'm disappointed to find a Leica camera accommodating a feature like the 
Snapshot Profile mode. It would damage my photography, but seems easy to 
slip into accidentally. Can it be permanently disabled?

Bob

If it is similar to the M9 (never used an M-E) then there should be no 
danger of entering snapshot mode, never done it in nearly six years of M9 
ownership ;-) 

1) Never felt the urge to find out what it does....
2) Doubt it
3) Never needed it

Hi John, 
Thanks for the link, unfortunately the thread is rather confused and the 
concluding comments not very re-assuring. I don't feel my 3 questions have 
been answered, I hope others on the list will be able to help.Thanks,Bob

Hello list,
I've just started using a digital Leica, the M-E. My questions are about the 
Snapshot Profile mode, which I'd personally like to have as little to do 
with as possible!
1) In the Snapshot Profile mode does the camera only shoot JPEGs?
2) Is there a risk of accidentally switching on the Snapshot Profile mode?
3) Is there a way of making sure the Snapshot Profile mode can't be switched 
on accidentally? Can it be permanently disabled?
Thanks,Bob
