Configuration of the camera

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 from having to restore camera settings, that
differ 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.
