Note

Exposure times entered via the 81Ch register are mir-
rored in the extended register, but not vice versa.

Longer integration times not only increase sensitivity,
but also may increase some unwanted effects, such as
noise and pixel-to-pixel non-uniformity. Depending on
the application, these effects may limit the longest
usable integration time.

Changes in this register have immediate effect, even
when the camera is transmitting.

Extended shutter becomes inactive after writing to a
format/mode/frame rate register.
