When someone with a static charge buildup touches an electronic device the damages to the IC are not difficult to detect.
It's the secondary ESD effects that are hard to troubleshoot because they might not hit the IC.
Another is deterministic communication back to the camera electronics that allows on-the-fly control of camera functions such as frame rate, zoom, etc.

  Sensitivity (electronics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The sensitivity of an electronic device, e.g., a communications system receiver, or detection device, e.g., PIN diode, is the minimum magnitude of input signal required to produce a specified output signal having a specified signal-to-noise ratio, or other specified criteria.
Note 1: The sensitivity of a microphone is usually expressed as field strength in decibels (dB) re 1 V/Pa (Pa = N/m²) or as millivolts per pascal (mV/Pa) into an open circuit or into a 1 kiloohm load.
Note 2: "Sensitivity" is sometimes improperly used as a synonym for "responsivity."

 Making Sense of Sensitivity - Understanding transducers, sensitivity and depth finder information.
When the sensitivity level is raised, weaker sounds outside the original coverage area (below 50%) are progressively accepted by the unit and shows on the screen.
Also, as the sensitivity level is raised, weaker or smaller return signals within the original coverage area appear on the screen.
As a unit's sensitivity is elevated, a broader area and smaller details show on the screen.

Added sensitivity is a real advantage in the littoral, or coastal, zones where land formations, man-made structures and human activity create a lot of background clutter.
The UCSB transistor's improved sensitivity, or lower "phase noise" in the transmitter, will allow Navy systems to pick up enemy threats in the littoral battlespace.
A Navy radar system must be able to pick out of the clutter the signal of a small, high-speed object such as a shoulder-launched missile coming out of a cave on the side of a mountain.

I recommend that you have the sensitivity at least high enough to produce a double echo at twice the depth.
For instance, if you are in 20 ft of water, set the range to at least 40 ft. If you don't see the bottom at 20 ft and again at 40 ft, increase the sensitivity until you do.
If they had a sensitivity up and down button and a range up and down button, that would be all we really need.
