ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS
USER/APPLICATION SPECIFIC PROFILES
On the Leica M-E, any combination of all main and
image parameters menu settings can be permanently
stored, e.g. so that they can be retrieved quickly and
easily at any time for recurring situations/subjects.
A total of four memory slots are available for such
combinations. The names of these four profiles are
generally made up of ten characters. In the factory
default setting, the first is named Profile__1_
1
, the
second Profile__2_
1
, and so on. However, you can
change the preset names on the camera, e.g. to your
specific applications. This makes it easier and quicker
for you to identify and retrieve them.
To simplify the presets, a snapshot profile is also
available (see p. 102/141).

The underscores “_” are used as placeholders here, in the monitor
all “unused” spaces are blank.

uous loop in this order.
