Abstract: User-profile systems and methods that allow the users of imaging devices to create, store and retrieve user profiles that allow users to readily set operating parameters of the imaging devices. Such user profiles are useful, for example, in situations where a user encounters differing imaging scenarios having differing preferred operating-parameter settings. The user can change the operating parameter settings to the desired settings by selecting the user profile corresponding to the imaging scenario at hand. In one embodiment, the imaging device displays a user-profile-access list to the user from which the user can select a desired one of the user profiles.
