Shutter controls the integration time of the sensor. The shutter can
be controlled manually, once automatically or fully automatically. In
the auto modes, the camera will attempt to set the shutter feature
such that a small portion of the scene is saturated.
In rolling shutter mode (See the Trigger feature, Section 5.1.3.10
on page 34), the Shutter control determines the number of lines in
the ROI that are active at any time. In Fast Reset Shutter mode,
the Shutter control determines the length of time from the
completion of frame reset to the start of readout.
When the Frame Rate control is active (ON), the Shutter control is
limited by the Frame Rate control setting. For example, if the
Frame Rate control is set to 50 fps, the maximum value of the
Shutter control will be limited to 20 ms. For unlimited control of the
Shutter feature, the Frame Rate control must be turned off.
