JPEG quality value. Valid range: 0x01(1%) to 0x64(100%).
A value of 0 is treated as 60%.
A write to this value in ‘Auto’ mode will be ignored.

JPEG_BUFFER_USAGE: 1E84h

Allows the user to specify the percentage of the image buffer on the PC that is used for JPEG compressed image data, when the camera is operating in a JPEG mode. Specifying a value less than the maximum allows for room in the image buffer to accommodate extra image data, depending on scene variations from frame to frame.

Image_En

[8-31]

Enables transmission of individual images. Refer to table below for a breakdown of images by bit.
Write: Transmission enabled or disabled
Read: Read a status
0: Transmission disabled, 1: Transmission enabled
The default value is 000000h, and is interpreted as a value of 888888h when the camera is operating in a mode that does not produce 4 separate Bayer-channel images from each sensor, or FFFFFFh when the camera is operating in a mode that produces 4 separate Bayer channel images from each sensor. In other words, all images are transmitted.
A mask of 888888h is applied whenever the camera is operating in a mode that does not produce separate Bayer-channel images.
