20.3.2.2 Exposure aka Integration
After an active trigger, the exposure phase starts with a maximum jitter of t
trig
. If flash illumination is enabled
in software the flash output will be activated exactly while the sensor chip is integrating light. Integration time is
adjustable by software in increments of t
readline
.
20.3.2.3 Readout
When exposure is finished, the image is transferred to hidden storage cells on the CCD. Image data is then shifted
out line-by-line and transferred to memory. Shifting out non active lines takes tvshift, while shifting out active lines
will consume t
readline
. The number of active pixels per line will not have any impact on readout speed.
