+This register allows to synchronize camera output to the display. The camera frame IRQ fires 8 scanlines after the specified position.
+This register can be disabled by setting it to a value equal to or greater than the display's total vertical span (as set in 0xF0009404). In this case, the camera outputs at its 'natural' framerate without synchronizing to the display, and the camera frame IRQ fires whenever a frame is finished.
