Sensor Shutter Mode#

The Sensor Shutter Mode camera feature allows you to change the operating mode of the camera's electronic shutter.

This feature is only available on cameras where the shutter mode can be changed. To find out more about your camera's electronic shutter, see the Electronic Shutter Types topic.

Using the Feature#

Changing the Sensor Shutter Mode#

To change the shutter mode, set the ShutterMode parameter to one of the following values:

Additional Parameters#

On acA2500-14gm/gc and acA1920-25gm/gc cameras, the GlobalResetReleaseModeEnable parameter is available.

  • If you set the parameter to true, the camera sets the ShutterMode parameter to GlobalResetRelease and operates as a Global Reset Release shutter camera.
  • If you set the parameter to false, the camera sets the ShutterMode parameter to Rolling and operates as a rolling shutter camera.
