Re: I never use them

Same with me (your percentages are fairly close to mine too).

I might be tempted to use them if *everything* could be set, but when I've tried in the past there's generally been one or two things that can't be changed - I remember trying to setup a mode for tripod usage (base ISO, IBIS / OIS off, 2 second timer, LCD screen not EVF, etc.), but there were things I still had to set manually, so it didn't make things any easier. That was a while ago though, and I can't remember what camera it was, so things may have improved since then. But somehow I doubt it, camera control UI isn't exactly a fast moving field

Actually I find it quite annoying that camera companies have a fixed idea of what goes together, and unnecessarily link settings - why can't I enable bracketing *and* a timer, for instance? But that's another story....
