Saving Changed Profiles

Click on the Set button to check the changed profiles. If a profile is faulty or entries are missing, you will be prompted to correct or complete your entries for this profile. If no errors have been detected, the profiles are stored temporarily.

Any newly created or modified profile is saved permanently only when the entire camera configuration is stored.

Click on the Close button to close the dialog. While closing the dialog, the system checks the entire configuration for changes. If changes are detected, you will be asked if you would like to store the entire configuration permanently.
