Increasing Camera Speed
The camera speed in the Snapshot mode is lower than that in the Video mode with the
same settings (see
“Increasing Camera Speed” on page 39 ).
To avoid the 'strong' fps reduction, try doing the following:
● Decrease exposure
● Decrease viewport, decimation
● Increase frequency
