Claim 13:
14. A method comprising:
generating and reading out pixel data for an image based on electromagnetic radiation received by a pixel array of an image sensor in an endoscopic environment, wherein the pixel array comprises a plurality of lines for reading out pixel data, and wherein a time length for reading out all the plurality of lines of pixel data in the pixel array comprises a readout period;
emitting electromagnetic radiation within a light deficient environment using an emitter;
illuminating a scene observed by the image sensor with the electromagnetic radiation emitted from the emitter; and
driving emission by the emitter using an electromagnetic radiation driver, the electromagnetic radiation driver controls the emitter such that a jitter specification is between about one microsecond to about 10 percent of the readout period of the pixel array of the image sensor.
