2 x full binning/4 x full binning/8 x full binning 
(F-201C only 2 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.

Light sensitivity

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

Resolution is reduced, depending on the model.

Format_7 Mode_3

By default and without further remapping use 

Format_7 Mode_3

 for

2 x full binning.

 Figure 69: 8 x horizontal binning

Note

L

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.
