## 7. Important Note About SD Card Configuration
Just a reminder about RunCam cameras, Configurators and SD Cards:
If you are using the stick Runcam firmware, RunCam added a feature which creates/reads the settings from user.ini file. If the SD Card is inserted, there is a script that runs on boot which applies the settings from this file. It will overwrite anything you configured with either configurator.
The script path is `/etc/init.d/S95majestic` which contains:
```
12,7: /etc/runcam_cfg.sh &
```
The `runcam_cfg.sh` script reads and applies settings from the user.ini file on your SD card. Keep this in mind when making configuration changes - if you're experiencing issues with settings not sticking, check if your SD card's user.ini file is overriding your configurations.
