Known issues
------------
 - Alvium: 
   - If error -11 occurs, reset the camera by software command or unplug it for a short time.
     This is a camera firmware issue.
   - To apply a correction set by default, open the camera in Vimba Viewer, go to CorrectionControl,
     and select the desired correction set as Default.
 - Manta-G and Mako-G: 
   - Only 100 defective pixels can be loaded into these cameras.
 - Prosilica GT 4-tap cameras: 
   - Column Defect: Height cannot be entered
 - Prosilica GT4905, GT4907, and GT6600:
   - These cameras cannot delete all defects (zero-size memory writes are not accepted)
 - Pixel row defects: Editing the width pixel value is not possible
 - Depending on camera resolution and zoom factor, some pixel defects appear shifted in the image.
   Workaround: Select a different zoom factor. This is a qt issue.
 - High values of auto exposure may cause image freeze. 
 - Changing BlackLevel values significantly may cause image freeze.
