Point Grey Flea3 GigE Technical Reference
The program then starts the camera in custom image mode using parameters defined at the beginning of the code.
Calling SetFormat7Configuration() with these parameters is essentially the same thing as setting these parameters in
FlyCap and clicking "Apply". A number of images are grabbed in this custom image mode. The final image is then color-
processed and saved in .bmp format to disk.

ExtendedShutterEx

The ExtendedShutterEx example program demonstrates how to enable and calculate extended integration times for
your camera. The way this is done can differ between cameras.
Many applications require extended shutter (integration) times up to several seconds long. Most Point Grey Imaging
Products implement extended shutter functionality in one of two ways:
1. By turning off the FRAME_RATE register 0x83C. This effectively stops the camera from transmitting images at
fixed frame intervals; the frame rate becomes dependent on the shutter time.
2. By enabling extended shutter via the EXTENDED_SHUTTER register 0x1028.
The program begins by initializing the first camera on the bus and uses GetProperty() to determine if it implements the
FRAME_RATE register. If it does, it turns the frame rate off. If the camera does not implement this register, the program
then checks to see if the camera implements the EXTENDED_SHUTTER register. If it does, it accesses this register to put
the camera into extended shutter mode. Otherwise, the user is notified that the camera does not implement extended
shutter and the program exits.
Once the camera is in extended shutter mode, it is started in the default mode and frame rate. A series of images are
grabbed, and their timestamps printed as a way of verifying that the extended shutter is working.

FlyCap2CameraControl

The FlyCap2CameraControl is the source code to our main Control dialog that can be launched through the
Flycapture2GUI API. This source demonstrates all possible controls available in FlyCapture2 SDK.

FlyCap2_GTKmm

This example allows a user to select a camera to start, and then starts streaming images to screen. It is written using C++
with the GTKmm graphical framework. There are options to modify camera settings and display a histogram window.
Images can be saved as a single image capture or multiple sequential images of various formats. Data can be saved by
specifying the number of frames to capture, the length of time, or an indefinite stream where the user selects when to
start and stop the camera recording.
