The calculation of shading data is always carried out at the current resolution set. If the Area of
Interest (AOI) is bigger than the window in which correction data was being calculated, none of
the pixels lying outside are corrected.
For Format_7 it is advisable to generate the shading image in the largest displayable frame
format. This ensures that any smaller AOIs are completely shading corrected. The automatic
generation of shading data can also be started when image capture is running. The camera then
pauses the running image capture for the time needed for generation and resumes after
generation is completed.
