Using flash with global shutter is straight forward: just make sure your
flash is on while shutter is open, thus all pixels are exposed to light the
same time. You might flash at any time within exposure time.
6.1.2
Rolling Shutter
Rolling shutter is a method of reading out a CMOS sensor, where the
whole scene is scanned line after line very rapidly. Rolling shutter cameras
in general are more sensitive in their light response than global shutter
ones.
Despite the speed of scanning one line after the other („rolling“) is very
high, it is important to note that the instant of imaging a single line will be
different to the point of time of the next line imaging. As this works out
without any effect in the final image with still sceneries, with moving
objects you get geometric distortions (see example of rotating propeller),
showing fast moving structures in an predictable, in the first moment yet
surprising way.
As it takes some time to read out a whole sensor (and the whole sensor
has always to be read out!) you need to make sure that light conditions
are stable while reading the sensor. This restriction applies especially to
using PWM driven lights or flash lighting with rolling shutter. Unstable
light conditions will result in a horizontal line structured pattern noise.
PWM lights with rolling shutter
PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) powered light or dimmed light is run at a
fixed frequency. Experience teaches us this frequency might be less stable
than expected. Unstable frequency might show up as unstable light,
creating noise/line structures in the final rolling shutter image (in global
shutter images the whole image is just more/less bright)
As a rule of thumb, make sure your PWM lighting frequency is at least
double or triple the bitdepth of your image (e.g. 8bit image = 256, this
means your PWM has to be switched at least 256*2=512 times) while
exposing. If exposure time is 5ms,
required minimum PWM freq = 5ms/512 ~ 10µs ~ 100kHz
If you have the possibility to use a strobe controller or dimmer with linear
regulation, this might be preferrable on short exposure times.
