Okay, I'm officially confused, why does FN not keep its setting?

Hi all-

So, I'm confused about why the FN button, nor the top button, never keep the settings I set them to. I have zero need for a timer so I want the FN button to be User Profiles. Fine, I hold the button, select that option, and from then on out it works great. Now I turn the camera off and back on and it's reverted to Timer. Same goes for the button on the top of the camera. This happens 100% of the time, and it kinda cheeses me off that I have to remember to set it every time I turn the camera on.

I just updated to the 5.0 firmware and this is still happening. Am I doing something wrong, or is the setting not supposed to be saved between power cycles? 

Thanks for any help, this is the only thing that's driving me mad when using the camera.

Are you saving your preferences to a profile? If not it will revert to “base” settings that Leica put into the firmware. Check out preferences in the instruction manual.

I think Le Chef is right.... try saving it as a profile and you should get the result you want...(I hope) 

It took me a while to get my head around the "profiles" settings....

The FN button is akin to tits on bacon. I use menu favorites and it works perfectly.
