exposure periods

It just occurred to my team that we may be moving our turret while taking pictures (after the first capture). Is anyone out there doing this? Have you played with the exposure times? I can't get to the robot to check this - what is the default exposure time? The data sheet says is is selectable from 1/5000 s to 1/4 s but gives no default value. One can compensate (plug in the width of the rectangles given the height of the left or right side depending on which way the turret is moving) I reckon but is it worth it?

Comments, opinions?

TIA
