<Input example> PARTIAL 1 <CR>
Input characters are case-insensitive.

Command Input and Response
When the camera receives commands from the host, it
returns a response after each command is processed.
Input commands are echoed back.
Note
To input multiple commands in sequence, input a
command after the previous command returns its
response.
Command response messages are as follows:
OK : normal
Error : syntax error
Error : status error
 When command execution is completed normally,
"OK[CR]" is returned.
Example:
<Input> PARTIAL 1 <CR>
<Output on screen> OK[CR]
 If command execution is terminated abnormally,
"Error[CR]" is returned.
 When no parameter is input for a command
requiring parameters, the current parameters of the
command are returned.
Example:
<Input> PARTIAL<CR>
<Output on screen> 1[CR]
 If an input value is out of parameter range or an
invalid command name is input, the command is
invalid and "Error[CR]" is returned.
<Input> PARTIAL 5<CR>
<Output on screen> Error [CR]
