Changed settings of ColorCorrectionMode: "Auto" and "Off".
"Auto" enables color correction automatically, if a matching PixelFormat is selected.

Known issues ⇑

The models U3-389x/U3-388x/U3-386x have a time delay between trigger and flash. If a 5 Hz trigger signal is applied to Line0, Line1 goes to "high" with a time delay.
In some rare cases, transfer errors on the USB bus may cause the camera to restart during operation. This problem is only known in combination with the AMD X399 chipset.
The first image of U3-386x is too dark in case of overexposure.
