Period at end of sentence.

You can write

			std::clamp(frameDurationLimits->front(),

Same here.

I think we should phase out the term "shutter speed" and use "frame
duration" everywhere. I've send an RFC patch.

That's hard to read.

Sensors usually have a minimum margin between the exposure time and
frame duration, see frameIntegrationDiff in src/ipa/rpi/cam_helper/

It should be explained in the commit message and possibly split to a
separate patch.

Time to fix the hardcoded delays (in a separate series of course).
