Progressive scan mode

High-speed mode

Note) Blacked out portions in the diagram indicate pixels which are not read out.

1. Progressive scan mode

In this mode, all pixel signals are output in non-interlace format in 1/15s.

The vertical resolution is approximately 760TV-lines and all pixel signals within the same exposure period

are read out simultaneously, making this mode suitable for high resolution image capturing.

2. High-speed mode

The signals for all effective areas are output in approximately 1/30s by repeating readout pixels and non-

readout pixels every two lines. The vertical resolution is approximately 380TV-lines.

This readout mode emphasizes processing speed over vertical resolution.
