11-3 REAL-TIME DEFECT PIXEL CORRECTION

CMOS image sensors have pixels with high dark current caused by the failure of the silicon wafer, which
appear as white spots with long exposure time. The camera has real-time pixel correction features to
improve image quality.
The correction is performed in real-time without sacrificing the readout speed at all. This function can be
turned ON and OFF. (Default is ON)
