VIDIOCPWCRUSER restores a previous configuration, but is a configuration has
been saved and which parameters. Perhaps on the pro 4000, AGC is not saved
into the camera but the value of the gain ?

The only difference, it's perhaps the power save mode ... Now i set the
powersaving mode at startup. One try, reset the camera to factory, save
the setting, and do reload the setting. Hope that this will fix the
application.
 
I'll try to test it, this week-end.
