* 0x78 Global control, bit 6 controls the LED (inverted)
+ * 0x80 Compression balance, 2 interesting settings:
+ * 0x0f Default
+ * 0x50 Values >= this switch the camera to a lower compression,
+ * using the same table for both luminance and chrominance.
+ * This gives a sharper picture. Only usable when running
+ * at < 15 fps! Note currently the driver does not use this
+ * as the quality gain is small and the generated JPG-s are
+ * only understood by v4l-utils >= 0.8.9
