¹ The operation in device specific AEC/AGC mode is limited in (non continous) triggered modes. AEC/AGC only works while trigger signal is active. When the trigger signal is removed AEC/AGC stops and gain and exposure will be set to a static value. This is due to a limitation of the sensor chip.

² G = Gray, C = Color, GE = Gray & Infrared Enhanced
