1. An apparatus comprising:
a global shutter CMOS image sensor comprising a plurality of pixels arranged in a plurality of rows in a two-dimensional array,
wherein the global shutter CMOS image sensor is configured to simultaneously expose all or substantially all of the plurality of pixels in the CMOS image sensor for a duration of an exposure period,
wherein the apparatus is configured to sequentially read out signals from each row of the plurality of rows of pixels to generate two-dimensional image data;

a processor;
at least one illumination light source configured to illuminate at least a portion of a target for an illumination period; and
a non-transitory memory including computer program instructions, the non-transitory memory and the computer program instructions configured to, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
search the two-dimensional image data for one or more markers indicative of a presence of at least one two-dimensional bar code symbol, and
decode the at least one two-dimensional bar code symbol.
