Hello folks, 
I have just bougth a QHY268Mono. I use it with Sharpecap.
It works great, except it always needs doubble exposure time to show the first frame. So it buffers first one frame, runs the second exposure time and just then it shows the first frame on the screen. So I need doubble time to get and see one frame.
This always happens when changing the exposer time.
This is quite anoying when using long exposer times. Normally I dither my frames, and I need to change for this to another exposer time and then back to my long exposer time. But when I do this I alwasy need doubble time to see my first frame again.
Has anyone the same problem when using QHY268 and Sharpcap?   
Many Thanks for your help and feedback.

I Just found a solution.
You have to download the new version of SharpCap 4.0 and the you have to load the camera setting once again and it should work.

Thanks for the hint. I also have this problem (SharpCap is always one frame behind the camera). I will try your solution!
