+ <entry>This control is volatile, which means that the value of the control
+changes continuously. A typical example would be the current gain value if the device
+is in auto-gain mode. In such a case the hardware calculates the gain value based on
+the lighting conditions which can change over time. Note that setting a new value for
+a volatile control will have no effect. The new value will just be ignored.</entry>
