User Sets (Memory Channels)

The camera can save and restore settings and imaging parameters via on- board user configuration sets, also
known as memory channels. This is useful for saving default power- up settings, such as gain, shutter, video
format and frame rate, and others that are different from the factory defaults.
User Set 0 (or Memory channel 0) stores the factory default settings that can always be restored. Two additional
user sets are provided for custom default settings. The camera initializes itself at power-up, or when explicitly
reinitialized, using the contents of the last saved user set. Attempting to save user settings to the (read- only)
factory default user set causes the camera to switch back to using the factory defaults during initialization.
The following camera settings are saved in user sets.
