Software Trigger / One-Shot Operation
In Software Trigger/One-shot operation, a “One-shot” Command is used to prepare the camera to
capture a single image. With this method of operation, exposure will begin when the Trigger field
of the Software Trigger control register is set to 1. To use this operating method, follow this
sequence:
1. Use the shutter settings described in Section 3.2.1 to set your desired exposure time.
2. Set the One Shot field of the One Shot/Multi Shot control register to 1.
3. Check the state of the Trigger field in the Software Trigger control register (see page 4-20):
a) If the value is 0, you can set the Trigger field to 1 when desired.
b) If value is 1, wait until the value becomes 0 and then set the Trigger field to 1 when
desired.
4. When the Trigger field is set to 1, exposure will begin.
5. Exposure will continue for the length of time you specified in step 1.
6. At the end of the specified exposure time, readout and transmission of the captured image
will take place.
The One Shot field of the One Shot/Multi Shot control register is self cleared after image
transmission. The Trigger field resets to 0 when the camera is ready to start the next exposure.
Repeat steps 2 through 6 to capture another image.
Software Trigger / Continuous-Shot Operation
In Software Trigger/Continuous-shot operation, a “Continuous Shot Command” is used to prepare
the camera to capture multiple images. With this method of operation, exposure will begin when
the Trigger field of the Software Trigger control register is set to 1. To use this operating method,
follow this sequence:
1. Use the shutter settings described in Section 3.2.1 to set your desired exposure time.
2. Set the Continuous Shot field of the ISO En/Continuous Shot control register to 1 (see page
4-18).
3. Check the state of the Trigger field in the Software Trigger control register (see page 4-20):
a) If the value is 0, you can set the Trigger field to 1 when desired.
b) If value is 1, wait until the value becomes 0 and then set the Trigger field to 1 when
desired.
4. When the Trigger field is set to 1, exposure will begin. (Note that the Trigger field resets to 0
when the camera is ready to start the next exposure.)
5. Exposure will continue for the length of time you specified in step 1.
6. At the end of the specified exposure time, readout and transmission of the captured image
will take place.
7. Repeat steps 3 and 4 each time you want to begin exposure and capture an image.
8. To disable continuous-shot operation, set the Continuous Shot field in the ISO En/
Continuous Shot control register to 0.
