3.1.5. Mechanical shutter ganged operation (Option)
When using the optional Mechanical shutter, it is no need to shade the light since the shutter will
close automatically when carrying out a calibration.
3.2. Selecting the Frame Rate
With the system, you can record images from 60 (50) to 1,080 fps using the full 2,048x2,048 pixel
resolution of the image sensor. For frame rates faster than 1,080 fps, high-speed photography is
achieved by limiting the read area of the image sensor.

The minimum frame rate in NTSC mode is 60 fps.

The minimum frame rate in PAL mode is 50 fps.

For frame rates faster than 1,080 fps, the resolution is automatically set to the maximum available
at that frame rate. For more details, refer to “5.1.4. Frame Rate and Resolution”, page 71.
