• The list of valid commands that can be set in the Function Byte is shown in Table B-
4.
• For all reply messages, the camera will echo back the Function Byte of the previous
incoming message.
• For all commands in which the byte count is listed in Table B-4 as either 0 or some
non-zero value, the camera will change the value of the specified parameter
according to the incoming data bytes if there are any (i.e., the camera shall set the
parameter) or it will reply with the current value of the parameter if the incoming
message contains no data bytes (i.e., the camera shall get the parameter).
