Steve Lane Posted December 1, 2011 Share #1 Â Posted December 1, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have been doing some playing about with the User Profiles on my X1, and have a question for those more experienced users than I; I created a profile for high contrast B&W, with ISO of 1600 and a few other settings, which works fine when selected. However, I cannot find an easy way of exiting the profile to return to what is my 'usual' shooting style. Â So what I found I had to do was to create two profiles; one is my usual shooting style and the second is for my B&W stuff. This way, I can easily switch between them both. Maybe I am not understanding the profile idea very well, but can anyone tell me if there is a way of using just one profile for a lesser used shooting style (in my case a grainy B&W style), and being able to return to the camera to my usual settings? Â The manual explains how to create and use profiles very clearly, but not how to escape them once selected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wda Posted December 1, 2011 Share #2 Â Posted December 1, 2011 Steve, that is an excellent way of working. However remember that having chosen your desired profile it ceases to be that profile once you make further individual menu or button adjustments. I have a working drill whereby before any new shooting session, I enter my required profile. This ensures that I do not inadvertently roll over unwanted effects from a previous session. Profiles are very important in all my digital work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert blu Posted December 1, 2011 Share #3 Â Posted December 1, 2011 What David says is the way to go. I have three different profiles and before shooting I choice which one is the most appropriate. Than if necessary I change just one single point of it (it is mainly the iso value) . robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Lane Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share #4 Â Posted December 1, 2011 wda, robert, many thanks for your replies. It sounds like I am going down the right road with profiles but just need to work a little more at it. There is a third that I will likely use, which is based around spot metering. I will play around a bit more over the weekend and see what happens... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted December 2, 2011 Share #5 Â Posted December 2, 2011 The attraction of profiles is that you can set them up to suit your shooting preferences according to season or project. Well worth the effort to master them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
