Note) Blacked out portions in the diagram indicate pixels which are not read out.
1. Progressive scan mode
In this mode, all pixel signals are output in non-interlace format in 1/30s.
The vertical resolution is approximately 480TV-lines and all pixel signals within the same exposure period
are read out simultaneously, making this mode suitable for high resolution image capturing.
2. Monitoring mode
The signals for all effective areas are output in approximately 1/60s by repeating readout pixels and non-readout
pixels every two lines. The vertical resolution is approximately 240TV-lines.
This readout mode emphasizes processing speed over vertical resolution.
