If you want to stitch images, you definitely want them synchronized (as we do
with panoramic cameras). Without the synchronization you may consider them to

Hello Mohammed,
You can save camera settings so they will be precisely synchronized. In "free
running" mode each sensor can have different WOI and so different FPS. You may
find info on synchronization here: https://wiki.elphel.com/wiki/Trigger_393
The disadvantage of synchronized mode is in
Hello Oleg,
