Very low frame rate in ROS #67

Description

@RGring

Hi,
I have the a2A 1920-160ucBAS. I made all my settings in the pylon viewer and loaded the custom user set. In the pylon viewer, I get a FPS of around 150.

When I run the camera with the default settings, I get a super low framerate of only ~3.3. I would like to get a FPS of 30.

Here the logging when the camera starts.

Any ideas how to solve the problem?
