Abstract

Systems and methods for synchronizing frame captures for cameras with different fields of capture are described. An example device includes a first camera and second camera. The first camera includes a first camera sensor and a first rolling shutter. The first camera is configured to prevent scanning pixels from a first row to a row n of the first camera sensor and configured to begin sequentially scanning pixels of the row n of the first camera sensor. The second camera includes a second camera sensor and a second rolling shutter. The second camera is configured to begin sequentially scanning pixels of a first row of the second camera sensor concurrently with beginning to sequentially scan pixels of the row n of the first camera sensor. The first row of the second camera sensor corresponds to a row within a predefined number of rows after the first camera sensor's row n.
