*1. If the user chooses a 12-bit pixel depth, high CPU performance is required and, depending on the PC specifications and capturing frame rate, the user may lose some frames. To avoid such frame loss, use single-cycle capture. This means that the user specifies the number of frames to capture and captures the frames in SNAP mode.

*2. These cameras may not produce the fastest frame rate as determined by the camera's specifications.
