Sensor Shutter Mode#
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:
Global
: The camera operates as a global shutter camera.Rolling
: The camera operates as a rolling shutter camera.GlobalResetRelease
: The camera operates as a Global Reset Release shutter camera.
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 theShutterMode
parameter toGlobalResetRelease
and operates as a Global Reset Release shutter camera. - If you set the parameter to
false
, the camera sets theShutterMode
parameter toRolling
and operates as a rolling shutter camera.
