Multi-shot
Setting
multi-shot
and
entering
a
quantity
of
images
in
Count_Number
in
the
61Ch
register
enables
the
camera
to
record
a
specified
number
of
images.
The
number
is
indicated
in
bits
16
to
31.
If
the
camera
is
put
into
ISO_Enable
mode
(see
187),
this
flag
is
ignored
and
deleted
automatically
once
all
the
images
have
been
recorded.
If
multi-shot
mode
is
activated
and
the
images
have
not
yet
all
been
captured,
it
can
be
canceled
by
resetting
the
flag.
The
same
result
can
be
achieved
by
setting
the
number
of
images
to
0.
Multi-shot
can
also
be
combined
with
the
external
trigger
in
order
to
grab
a
certain
number
of
images
based
on
an
external
trigger.
This
is
especially
helpful
in
combination
with
the
so
called
deferred
mode
to
limit
the
number
of
grabbed
images
to
the
FIFO
size.
