Hello
before I ask our engineers... The minimum exposure time is 20µs, according to the technical reference manual. Not that this makes a real difference to your issue. Did you set the highest frame rate? Please let me know the serial number of the camera, so I can check firmware. Thank you in advance

The minimum exposure time is 20µs
Yes, sorry I misread that
Did you set the highest frame rate?
Yes, I just tried to set minimum resolution (640x480) with 313.9028 fps and the issue is still there. Interestingly, the minimum exposure time is down to 1.5ms with this setting (the old setting was full hd with 140fps)
Please let me know the serial number of the camera, so I can check firmware.

Thank you very much for the quick answer.
Hello
I am sorry for giving the wrong answer this morning.
Now you know,why you can see the LED light under the conditions you wrote.
How to proceed depends on the task you want to perform.
You may speak with our sales personal about the camera and may exchange your current one, in case you purchased it recently.
I will be out of office until Tuesday 25th.

Thank you for the information. My task is to film a very well lit scene with a very fast movement happening, so I need a short exposure.
Could we work around this problem by triggering with a pwm with a long duty cycle and setting the cameras to be triggered by the end of the pwm instead of the beginning, so that the camera is forced to take the image in a shorter time?
Hello
I am very sorry, but you can not get around this issue with a rolling shutter camera. The time interval between first and last line exposure is determined by the frame rate. The camera can not be forced to run faster than maximum frame rate. Thus, the camera is not suitable for your task.
Sorry for not having a better answer.

Issue Description:
Current Behavior: I own a DFK 37BUX290 camera, and I have noticed a limitation regarding the exposure time settings. Even if I attempt to set the exposure time below 4ms (milliseconds), the camera consistently captures images with an exposure time of 4ms. This issue is preventing me from obtaining accurate images with exposure times lower than 4ms.
Expected Behavior: The expected behavior is that the camera should allow exposure times to be set below 4ms accurately. When I set the exposure time to a value like 2us (microseconds), I would expect the camera to capture images with the specified exposure time of 2us, enabling me to capture fast-moving objects or scenes that require very short exposures.
Steps to Reproduce:
Additional Information: To further investigate this issue, I performed a test by turning on an LED 4ms after sending the trigger signal to the camera, with the intention of capturing the LED in the image with an exposure time of 2us. However, the captured image still showed the powered LED, indicating that the camera's exposure time was not accurate.
Environment:
Note: This issue is hindering my ability to perform my tasks with the camera, and I would greatly appreciate any assistance in resolving this exposure time limitation. Thanks in advance.
