A. The CMOS camera sensor does not have a shutter. It scans the the image from the lens line by line instead of snapping a full frame at once like a CCD camera does. Because of this the CMOS can have waves or ripples in the video if there are vibrations generated from the aircraft/vehicle. Most prefer the CCD with a SONY 1/3″ lens image sensor.
