I don't know if this is scriptable or would require a change to the underlying code, but here's the idea: I have a "standard" camera configuration that is intended to leave things set so I can just pick up the camera and shoot if I'm in a hurry.  For me that's AWB, P mode, ISO 100, Tv/Av/M set to 1/125 f/5.6, servo AF, auto AF points, no exposure comp, landscape picture style, ...well you get the idea.  For others it might be quite different.

The problem is that it can be a pain to reset to the standard after a customized session.  (And sometimes I forget but that's a different issue!)  It would be really cool to have a menu item that let me register every standard setting and then later I could say "reset to the standard".  It would be similar to Canon's "reset to factory defaults" except it would be MY defaults instead of theirs.

Is this scriptable?

Thanks, Walter.  I hadn't known about the config presets.

Unfortunately they only seem to save the ML settings.  The ones that I most frequently change are the Canon ones, so I'm looking for a way to reset those.  I wouldn't mind hardwiring them into a script, since I rarely change them.  (It would be especially cool to auto-run it on boot...)
