Increasing use of digital cameras in geodesy requires a good knowledge of the technology of how images
are captured and possible negative effects on the geometric distortion in the image. One such impact,
which is often ignored, is a rolling shutter. In cameras with a rolling shutter, the image is created
sequentially, so a movement of the platform (e.g. drone) or the motive can cause additional geometric
distortions in the image. In this graduation thesis, we first briefly present the operation of the digital
camera, especially how the sensors and shutters work. How a rolling shutter works and its influence on
the geometry of the image is presented in more detail. It is explained when the effect of a rolling shutter
appears in the image and how we can minimize it. In the practical part of the thesis, we describe
experiments made to determine the size of the geometric distortion in the images, depending on the
moving speed of the object. We have confirmed the assumption that the geometric distortion at higher
speeds is greater. In addition, we have confirmed that it is better to use a camera with a mechanical
shutter which works faster than an electronic shutter, so the impact of the rolling shutter on the geometric
distortion is lower
