Default Pentax K200D - Can you save custom user settings?

Howdy all. I have a question about my Pentax K200D. Can I save custom user settings and name them in one of the menus/sub-menus? For example, if I set the ISO, apeture and shutter speed to a particular setting for indoor photos of family/portraits type shots and find a good combination of these settings, can I then save those settings and label them something like "Indoor Portrait" or some such and then whenever that need arises, simply find that saved label in the menu and have all the settings already pre-set instead of having to remember the particular settings and set them each time I need them? If so, how do I do this?

Thanks,

TP

i doubt it but even if you had settings it would be better to just remember what your settings were and how the light was when you took the photo. Most times you'll have to tweak them anyway and you'll understand your camera a bit more. Go buy a cheap manual 50mm off ebay and you'll never go back to auto settings (unless you can afford half a dozen DA limited lenses sigh... i need more money =p)

on the K2000 menu under C it lets you change and save 21 user settings, also under memory (menu 3) is allows you to determine if 10 additional items are saved or reset on power up. but you can not name a group of saved settings. all the settings above are global
