*FPN: FPN correction is user-selectable. If FPN is set to Column, the correction is at the sensor-level and is asserted for
all file types. If it is set to Off/Disabled, there will be no correction in any format. If it is set to Pixel, the black frame will
be subtracted in all formats except for CAP. For CAP files, the black frame is copied into the CAP file and the correction
is asserted when creating image data display and conversion.
** “As-shot” parameters: all image processing parameters, including color corrections, gains, brightness, contrast,
and gamma are saved, but not asserted (pixel values are not manipulated). This allows for post-processing of the
original pixel data.
