The M-E manual is on Leica's web site:
http://us.leica-camera.com/Service-Support/Support/Downloads?category=93710&subcategory=&type=&language=93871
http://us.leica-camera.com/Service-Support/Support/Downloads?category=93710&subcategory=&type=&language=93871
and on p. 141 it explains how to activate snapshot mode;
and p. 103 shows that JPG Fine is the fixed setting with this profile.
Cheers,
Nathan
