I'm with you on that. I seldom make any changes to my basic M8 setup.  The
only controls I fiddle with is shutter speeds and aperture, except when I'm
shooting in Trinity Parish Church.  I then set it to profile 3 which has a
custom white balance and 640 ISO.

Otherwise, I shoot it just like an M7, except I can chimp.
