Yes I do: the purple streaks on the bottom image.

20 cm, but I bought two and my intention is to change both for the final 
application.

It looks clear.  


Now coming back to the initial problem of scrambled images when WOI_WIDTH is < 
2560 .  

I changed the first  SENSOR_RUN TO 1  and made a few tests  : when WOI_WIDTH = 
2592 or 2576, the image is correct.  When it is 2560 or
below, I get a uniformly grey image even after several <refresh>.  I then asked 
for the actual frame_rate with a small php script :
echo elphel_get_P_value(51)/1000 ;
and get  "normal" values between 2.4 and 5.3 fps. 

After the grey image, when I try to come back to a WOI_WIDTH = 2592, the image 
is still grey, until I restore SENSOR_RUN TO 2.
Are there other sensor registers that it would be useful to read during those 
tests ?
