The camera has two exposure modes
OFF: Exposure time is “1 / frame rate setting (second)”, which is longest exposure time to maintain set frame rate.
The exposure time is changed based on frame rate.
Timed: Exposure time specifies by exposure time setting.
Please uses “Timed” exposure mode to specify exposure time manually.

The exposure time can be set by below step.
Exposure time sets manually:
1. Selects “Timed” at “ExposureMode” under “AcquisitionControl” under “RemoteDevice”.
2. Sets exposure time at “ExposureTime” under AcquisitionControl” under “RemoteDevice”.

Exposure time specifies by frame rate (exposure time is “1 / frame rate (second)”):
1. Selects “OFF” at “ExposureMode” under “AcquisitionControl” under “RemoteDevice”.

It is possible to not increase frame rate depending on frame rate setting or exposure time setting.
The exposure time setting has to be set less than “1 / frame rate setting” (second).

Please check below settings to increase frame rata.
1. It is necessary to do NOT acquire image.
2. Sets target frame rate at “AcquisitionFrameRate” under “AcquisitionControl” under “RemoteDevice”
