[Leica] Snapshot Profile mode

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

Hello Nathan,
If it's not exactly rocket science, instead of having a rant, do you know 
the answer to some very simple questions? Unfortunately the manual isn't 
clear, and I've not found answers online, which is why I've "popped up" here!
Regrettably the link John originally offered wasn't helpful and his answers 
->? ? 1) Never felt the urge to find out what it does....
>? ? 2) Doubt it
>? ? 3) Never needed it

understandably left a lot of doubt in my mind. Am hoping to benefit from the 
wisdom on the list. Could you help?

Thanks for your warm welcome!
Bob

You know what--you pop up here, ask a question that you can probably find the
answer to by reading the camera manual. A member answers with a forum link 
and a
second time with his personal experience, and you complain about the quality 
of
the answer? I suggest that you overcome your apparent laziness and do some
research on your own, or, horror of horrors, just use some trial and error. 
What
you are asking is not exactly rocket science.
