Remarks
Reports the activity state of the main camera reported at the last "tick" of the camera controller. (This typically happens at 50 msec intervals.) Note that the available CameraStatusCode values are not all contiguous, and not all values can be returned by all cameras, or indeed by all versions of MaxIm DL.
