[Leica] Snapshot Profile mode

Tue May 24 03:42:26 PDT 2016

Hi Bob, 

If I may butt in. 
I understand that your question was based on a fear that john neither shares nor ever needed to address. We're a wild and fearless bunch here you know, and shoot by instinct, never reading specs nor manual. Sunny 16 addicts of sorts.
We also trust Leica is always right when setting a trap for reckless users such as us.
Leica is consistently good at teaching us a lesson or two. 
Trial and error they say.

Hope this helps understand where you landed if not yet ease your immediate fear.

Also hope someone will have the magic answer for you here asap.
Good luck with your quest :-)

Amities
Philippe, a snapshot shooter, forever. 

PS: an afterthought

To get into Snapshot Profile (SET > Set user profile > Snapshot profile > SET)
From the SET menu you can select the Snapshot profile in themenu Set user profile 

To get out of Snapshot Profile (SET > YES) 
When you are in the Snapshot profile, simply press SET and you will be asked is you want to leave the Snapshot profile. And you press YES and you are out of the Snapshot profile. 

When you have saved no user profiles, the only available choice is the " - " (no profile). If you don't have any specific use for User profiles, I recommend you don't define any.
