An apparatus and a method for capturing image frames using interlaced exposure. The apparatus includes a digital camera and a memory. The digital camera includes an image sensor and the memory includes camera settings. The apparatus further includes a processor and a user interface. The user interface enables a user to manually input or adjust image capture parameter values including at least one first capture parameter value for a first set of pixels from the image sensor, and, at least one second capture parameter value for a second set of pixels from the image sensor. The processor controls the digital camera to expose the first set of pixels using the at least one first capture parameter value and the second set of pixels using the at least one second capture parameter value, where exposures of the first set of pixels and the second set of pixels overlap in time.
