* Optional flash function. The start time and duration are defined by the flash delay and duration
parameters (see also Camera settings: I/O).
Rolling shutter with global start
Some rolling shutter sensors also provide a global start mode, which starts exposure of all rows
simultaneously (see illustration). For best results, use a flash for this mode. No light is allowed to fall
on the sensor outside the flash period because otherwise the image brightness will be distributed
unevenly.
