6.2.3 Global Reset – Timing Details
All pixels are globally reset, and the exposure starts for all rows at the same
time. The exposure stop is carried out row by row, therefore the duration of

image quality, but due to the difference in exposure time, a flash illumination
is recommended. The readout (exposure stop) is done from the outside to
the center.
