I use exactly two

On my Pen F, I keep C1 as my everyday way I want the camera to work. When I try to keep four different sets, I tend to get lost as to what I've set with each and when to use it. I guess I'm not a very creative camera operator.

I said, "exactly two" sets. Well, while I always start off with C1, if I find myself in a situation where somewhat different settings will likely be useful for a while, I'll make my tweaks to the C1 setup and save them to C4. Then I switch to C4 for the remainder of the situation, whether it's a special event, weather conditions, or what have you. When I come back to the camera and C1 a few days later, I'll probably only have a vague recollection of all the C4 changes, it's that transient.

I've been contemplating a permanent C2 that I would set up specifically for people pictures; wide aperture, eye focus, 3 fps anti-shock frame rate, etc.  But then, I've been contemplating that for a couple of years.
