User Preferences
Some of the operating parameters of the camera control software can be customized for easier use, as determined by the type of imaging being done, and the preferences of the camera operator. The default operation of several of the exposure tools, and the default settings of several scan options, can be selected and saved as the software’s startup condition (in the ViewFinder™ Prefs file), or as a recallable condition for future use.
