Controlling image capture
Points to pay attention to when working with a
sequence
The following screenshot shows an example of a sequence for eight different
image settings. It uses the Firetool program as graphical representation. Please
note the changes in the shutter time; that creates descending image brightness,
and the change in the image position; which creates a panning effect.
Note

• If more images are recorded than defined in SeqLength,
the settings for the last image remain in effect.
•If sequence mode is cancelled, the camera can use the
FIFO for other tasks. For this reason, a sequence must be
loaded back into the camera after sequence mode has
been cancelled.
• To repeat the sequence, stop the camera and send the
multi-shot or IsoEnable command again. Each of these
two commands resets the sequence.
•Using single-shot mode in combination with a sequence
does not make sense, because single-shot mode restarts
the sequence every time.
• The sequence may not be active when setting the AutoRe-
wind flag. For this reason it is important to set the flag
before the multi-shot or IsoEnable commands.
• If the sequence is used with the deferred transport fea-
ture, the number of images entered in Seq_Length may
not be exceeded.
