You may also reset the ErrorCode
•by writing to the USER_PROFILE register with the SaveProfile,
RestoreProfile and SetDefaultID flag not set.
• by writing 00000000h to the USER_PROFILE register.
Stored settings
The following table shows the settings stored inside a profile:
The user can specify which user profile will be loaded upon startup of the
camera.
This frees the user software from having to restore camera settings, that dif-
fer from default, after every cold start. This can be especially helpful if third
party software is used which may not give easy access to certain advanced
features or may not provide efficient commands for quick writing of data
blocks into the camera.
