Exposure Mode and Timing Chart

The camera has three exposure modes. The overview of each mode and the timing

are as follows.

4.8.1 Free Run Exposure Mode (Programming time setting)

In free-run exposure mode, the camera generates its own internal control signal

based on two programmable parameters, exposure time and readout time.
