How do I set the default caption font in a memoir?
I tried:
\documentclass{memoir}
\usepackage[font=small]{caption}
But that gives me a warning:
Class memoir Warning: You are using the caption package with the memoir (memoir) class. This may cause unexpected or inconsistent (memoir) results if you use any of memoir's captioning facilities.
As egreg mentioned in his comment, you should use memoir's commands \captionnamefont and \captiontitlefont:
\documentclass{memoir}
\captionnamefont{\small}
\captiontitlefont{\small}
\begin{document}
Test text
\begin{figure}[htbp]
\centering
A
\caption{A test caption}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
memoir together with the subcaption package and the memoir commands \captionnamefont and \captiontitlefont have no effect. Instead it seems necessary to use \captionsetup to change the caption appearance. Or am I missing something?

memoir's manual (p. 193):\captionnamefont{\small}\captiontitlefont{\small}should do. – egreg Jun 7 '12 at 16:38captionpackage, thenmemoirs own caption configuration macros will no longer have any effect. – daleif Jun 11 '12 at 10:43
