An electronic camera for producing a sequence of output image frames of a scene at a frame rate of up to N frames per second, said electronic camera comprising: a plurality of M image sensors for generating M sensor outputs, wherein the frame rate of each of the M image sensors is equal to N/M; one or more lenses for forming images of the scene on said plurality of M image sensors; and a timing generator for controlling the starting time of the exposure period of each of the plurality of M image sensors such that the difference in the starting times between any two of the plurality of M image sensors is approximately equal to an integer multiple of 1/N seconds; and characterised in that: the camera is manually or automatically operable to select one of a normal mode, a low frame rate mode or a high frame rate mode, wherein in the normal mode, image frames from only a first image sensor are included in the image sequence, in the low frame rate mode, a temporal subset of the image frames from only the first image sensor is included in the image sequence, and in the high frame rate mode, image frames from multiple sensors are interleaved in the image sequence, each of the multiple sensors having the same exposure duration; wherein a manual control is present on said camera to control the selection of the normal mode, the low frame rate mode or the high frame rate mode, or wherein the camera automatically controls the selection of image frames to be included in the image sequence, based on an analysis of motion in the scene, wherein when the motion is between a first threshold and a second threshold, the normal mode is selected, when the motion is less than a first threshold, the low frame-rate mode is selected, and when the motion exceeds a second threshold, the high frame-rate mode is selected. a plurality of M image sensors for generating M sensor outputs, wherein the frame rate of each of the M image sensors is equal to N/M; one or more lenses for forming images of the scene on said plurality of M image sensors; and a timing generator for controlling the starting time of the exposure period of each of the plurality of M image sensors such that the difference in the starting times between any two of the plurality of M image sensors is approximately equal to an integer multiple of 1/N seconds; and characterised in that: the camera is manually or automatically operable to select one of a normal mode, a low frame rate mode or a high frame rate mode, wherein in the normal mode, image frames from only a first image sensor are included in the image sequence, in the low frame rate mode, a temporal subset of the image frames from only the first image sensor is included in the image sequence, and in the high frame rate mode, image frames from multiple sensors are interleaved in the image sequence, each of the multiple sensors having the same exposure duration; in the normal mode, image frames from only a first image sensor are included in the image sequence, in the low frame rate mode, a temporal subset of the image frames from only the first image sensor is included in the image sequence, and in the high frame rate mode, image frames from multiple sensors are interleaved in the image sequence, each of the multiple sensors having the same exposure duration; wherein a manual control is present on said camera to control the selection of the normal mode, the low frame rate mode or the high frame rate mode, or wherein the camera automatically controls the selection of image frames to be included in the image sequence, based on an analysis of motion in the scene, wherein when the motion is between a first threshold and a second threshold, the normal mode is selected, when the motion is less than a first threshold, the low frame-rate mode is selected, and when the motion exceeds a second threshold, the high frame-rate mode is selected. when the motion is between a first threshold and a second threshold, the normal mode is selected, when the motion is less than a first threshold, the low frame-rate mode is selected, and when the motion exceeds a second threshold, the high frame-rate mode is selected.
