According to the MT9V032 datasheet 
(http://www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/MT9V032-D.PDF) the maximum shutter width 
in AEC mode is limited to 2047. That is documented both in the Maximum Total 
Shutter Width register legal values and in the "Automatic Gain Control and 
Automatic Exposure Control" section:

"The exposure is measured in row-time by reading R0xBB. The exposure range is
1 to 2047."

I assume that the the AEC unit limits the shutter width to 2047 lines and that 
it's thus pointless to set the maximum total shutter width to a higher value. 
Whether doing so could have any adverse effect I don't know, but better be 
same than sorry. If you agree we should limit the value to 2047 I can fix 
this.
