2 x full binning/4 x full binning/8 x full binning
If horizontal and vertical binning are combined, every 4 (16 or 64) pixels are
consolidated into a single pixel. At first two (4 or 8) vertical pixels are put
together and then combined horizontally.
This increases light sensitivity by a total of a factor of 4 (16 or 64) and at
the same time signal-to-noise separation is improved by about 6 (12 or 18)
dB. Resolution is reduced, depending on the model.
By default and without further remapping use
Format_7 Mode_3
for
2 x full binning.
Note
The image appears
horizontally
compressed in this mode
and does no longer show true aspect ratio.
If
horizontal binning
is activated the image may appear to
be over-exposed and must eventually be corrected.
