10.6 Binning
Binning increases the camera’s response to light by summing the charges from adjacent pixels into
one pixel. Two types of binning are available: vertical binning and horizontal binning.
With vertical binning, adjacent pixels from 2 lines, 3 lines, or a maximum of 4 lines in the imaging
sensor array are summed and are reported out of the camera as a single pixel. Figure 51 illustrates
vertical binning.
With horizontal binning, adjacent pixels from 2 columns, 3 columns, or a maximum of 4 columns are
summed and are reported out of the camera as a single pixel. Figure 52 illustrates horizontal bin-
ning.
The binning feature is only available on the monochrome cameras.
