Manual Profile for a Single Lens - M240

I have one lens that is not coded and three lenses which are.  Is it possible to set the M240 up so

 (i) it automatically reads lens code if it has one

 (ii) if no lens code is found it defaults to a predefined selection

 

Or do I have to go into the menu system when I swap a lens to switch between manual and auto profile?

 

Thanks!

I don't think you can set it up to be both automatic for lenses with codes and then default to a predefined setting for lenses without. I believe it defaults to use no code for lenses that aren't coded and marks them in EXIF as "Not set". 

 

I have my M-P set up with one user preset that has all the default settings I normally use and has the lens profile set to Automatic. I then changed that for three uncoded lenses and saved each into a user preset named for the lens (Nokton 50, M-Rokkor 90, and Color Skopar 28). So it's a simple matter to switch to the user preset whenever I swap to a lens that isn't coded using the Set button.

Thanks for that!  I'll set a couple of presets.
