Let's suppose we are taking 3 photos (theoretical times): - 1/12s - 1/6s - 1/3s We would have the following timeline: 0s: open shutter (light goes in the sensor, software starts "capturing process") - 1/12s: take first snapshot (JPG image with 1/12s exposure. Shutter remains open) - 1/6s: take second snapshot (JPG). Shutter remains open. - 1/3s: last snapshot of the sequence. Save the third image and finish process. What do you think?
