That's correct.

According to the TRM, SYN_MODE_EXWEN control whether the cam_wen signal is 
used or not, and SYN_MODE_WEN controls whether the CCDC captures data to 
memory or not.

If you capture data at the CCDC output, clearing SYN_MODE_WEN is supposed to 
disable capture completely. Could you double-check your modifications ?
