Remarks

Must throw a PropertyNotImplementedException if CanFastReadout is false or return a boolean value if CanFastReadout is true.

Must thrown an exception if no connection is established to the camera. Must throw a PropertyNotImplementedException if CanFastReadout returns false.

Many cameras have a "fast mode" intended for use in focusing. When set to true, the camera will operate in Fast mode; when set false, the camera will operate normally. This property, if implemented, should default to False.

Please note that this function may in some cases interact with ReadoutModes; for example, there may be modes where the Fast/Normal switch is meaningless. In this case, it may be preferable to use the ReadoutModes function to control fast/normal switching.

If this feature is not available, then CanFastReadout must return false.

This is only available for the Camera Interface Version 2 and later.
