# Image Acquisition

Image acquisition is the process of capturing a digital image and transferring it to the processing memory of the In-Sight vision system.

The In-Sight vision systems capture all images using asynchronous reset and progressive scan. The greyscale vision systems produce 8-bit images, while the color vision systems (indicated with a C suffix) produce 24-bit images. The image acquisition process begins within approximately 250 microseconds for all vision systems.

The Image application step of the EasyBuilder allows you to define the image source and optimize the device lighting.
