                                   Expert Mode
                                   -----------

This document describes how to enter the expert mode and adjust several low level settings like the brightness of the flash that can't be accessed through the user menu or a driver. 

********************************************************************************
* This information has to be handled with care. By entering the expert mode,   *
* you are able to render your camera unfunctional. Only enter the expert mode  *
* when you are willing to sacrifice your camera.                               *
********************************************************************************

Recommendation: Please write down the initial values for each (sub)menu before you ever change a value. The values have been chosen carefully by the manufacturer.
