You only have to do it once. You have to remember, P&S cameras are not made to appeal to advanced photographers like us. They're made for lowest-common-denominator users, and as such have to be as simple and user friendly as possible. Pentax and other companies have to assume that someone taking snapshots is going to want the camera to perform exactly the same way every time they use it, so they make the camera reset itself unless someone like you tells it not to. It may not make a lot of sense to you, but I'm sure there are a lot of people who appreciate it.
