No, not necessary providing you don't mind setting the coding manually. It is a matter of convenience...... then you shoot a few times having left the camera on the (wrong) manual selction and get annoyed with yourself. For most normal to longer ones, I doubt that you would see any significant change in the files. Wides can benefit more. You will be able to compare directly for yourself with code on or off once you have the camera, naturally. I'll send you some info off-list.
