Controlling image capture
9.8.1 HoldImg mode
By setting the HoldImg flag, transport of the image over the 1394 bus is stopped completely. All
ptured images are stored in the internal ImageFiFo. The camera reports the maximum possible
number of images in the FiFoSize variable.
 Pay attention to the maximum number of images that can be stored in FiFo. If you capture
more images than the number in FiFoSize, the oldest images are overwritten.
 The extra SendImage flag is set to “true” to import the images from the camera. The
camera sends the number of images that are entered in the NumOfImages parameter.
 If NumOfImages is “0” all images stored in FIFO are sent.
 If NumOfImages is not “0”, the corresponding number of images is sent.
 If the HoldImg field is set to “false”, all images in ImageFIFO are deleted. No images are
sent.
 The last image in the FiFo will be corrupted, when simultaneously used as input buffer
while being read out. Read out one image less than max. buffer size in this case.
