Any setting changed mechanically is remembered mechanically, such as exposure mode, AF mode and field, SR, metering. All others are stored in non-volatile memory even beyond a battery removal. I believe what you're referring to, Bill, is the USER mode option which at any time allows you to commit your current settings to memory such that they can be invoked by setting the mode dial to USER.
