New features and improvements

Added pre-shutter off setting

When shooting using the 360° shutter setting (shutter off), the exposure time can be set closer to the maximum exposure time for the imaging frame frequency by setting Pre Shutter Off, which allows you to reduce flicker effects when shooting electronic display devices that are driven by the same sync system.

However, an afterimage may remain for one frame when an excessive amount of light is incident, such as when shooting with a flash.

• Pre-shutter: This is the recommended setting for imager devices to stop short-time charge accumulation every frame.
