(10) Camera readout modes
The camera has three kinds of readout mode, Area readout mode, Lightsheet readout mode and
Photon number resolving mode. The camera also has two scan speed (Standard scan and Ultra
quiet scan), and two readout direction in Lightsheet readout mode.

(11) Camera operation modes
The camera has three operation modes: 1) Free running mode, in which the exposure and readout
timing are controlled by the internal microprocessor, 2) External trigger mode, in which the
exposure and readout timing are decided by an external trigger, and 3) Start trigger mode is used
to start operating the camera by a trigger input for a continuous imaging.
