All used models from the Used Models table will be copied to the All Models table. For models that already exist in the All Models table, the parameters will be overwritten.

Hide selected columns.

It is convenient to control the visibility of columns using the menu in the upper left corner of the table.

Freeze columns, beginning from the left column up to selected one. Frozen columns will not be moved at horizontal scrolling of the table.

Leave only selected models visible, hide other models. The tool is useful for comparing models in conjunction with the Highlight differing parameters and Show differing parameters only tools.

Highlight parameters that do not match for all displayed models.  The tool is useful for comparing models in conjunction with the Filter out selected models and Show differing parameters only tools.

Sequence of actions for comparing models:

Instead of points 1 and 2, you can simply use filtering.

The tool does not affect calculated parameters (calculated lens angles, current consumption, total price..).

Hide parameters that match all displayed models  The tool is useful for comparing models in conjunction with the Highlight differing parameters and Filter out selected models tools.

Sequence of actions for comparing models:

1. Select rows of the table for comparison by successive mouse clicks on the left ends of the rows, holding Ctrl to select arbitrary rows or Shift to select a range of rows.

2. Click Filter out selected models. As a result, only rows with models to compare should be displayed.

3. Click Show differing parameters only or Highlight differing parameters.

The tool does not affect calculated parameters (calculated lens angles, current consumption, total price..).

Select all cells.

Call the dialog for searching cells containing the desired parameter value. The dialog has many options.

Internet link is a camera model parameter too. To each model an Internet link to more detailed information can be assigned.

Open help system topic with description of the parameter in the selected cell.

Effect of the item is similar to F1 pressing.

At changing model parameters in the table, the parameters of cameras of this model, do not change automatically.

Choose this item to bring parameters of all cameras of the selected model in correspondence with the parameters of this model.

If the item is called from the menu of the All models tab, the model selected in the table is first copied to its copy on the Used models tab, and then the parameters of all cameras of this model are updated.
