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 1/15s.
The vertical resolution is approximately 760TV-lines and all pixel signals within the same exposure period
are read out simultaneously, making this mode suitable for high resolution image capturing.
2. High-speed mode
The signals for all effective areas are output in approximately 1/30s by repeating readout pixels and non-
readout pixels every two lines. The vertical resolution is approximately 380TV-lines.
This readout mode emphasizes processing speed over vertical resolution.
