The CCD scanning format can be selected between full or partial scanning. With partial scanning only the vertical central part of the CCD sensor is read out with a higher frame rate. The partial scan is done by a fast dump read out of the lines in the vertical ccd register down to the top of the partial image. The partial part of the image is read out with normal speed. The lines below the partial image is read out and dumped with a high speed. With partial scan the shutter speed is limited to be shorter than the frame read out time. (SC=1 1/50. SC=2 1/100. SC=3 1/200). In PWC mode TR=2, there is no limitation.
A minor signal distortion can be expected below highlighted areas, (saturated areas). It is caused by limitation in the vertical ccd register transfer efficiency at high speed.
Lines shown in partial scans are: 1/2 PS 512 lines. 1/4 PS 256 lines. 1/8 PS 128 lines.
