##### SHUTTER

**Sweep**

Shutter direction. Specifies the direction that the shutter sweeps. The default, down, is the most common direction for rolling shutters. Note that this parameter currently only works with RIS and **not **with XPU.

**Duration**

Exposure duration. Zero means an ideal rolling shutter where each line is exposed instantaneously when read. The default, one, is equivalent to a global shutter where all lines are exposed and read at the same time. Note that this parameter currently only works with RIS and **not **with XPU.
