Shading correction
Shading is caused either by illumination with uneven distribution of light across the surface, or by
vignetting towards the edges of a lens.
The shading correction incorporated in the camera will compensate for this effect by as much as
20% of the brightest signal.
Shading is not compensated for each individual pixel. The signal is averaged across group of 8 pixels
in relation to the whole line. The pixel response non-uniformity will be superimposed on the output
also after shading correction has been performed. Therefore, it is recommended to perform a pixel
gain (flat-field) correction after shading correction.
The Pixel Gain (flat-field) correction function will also be used to compensate for shading, but it
cannot handle a very wide dynamic range.
The shading correction can be configured to compensate each channel separately or tracking the
green channel.

Binning
The binning function in this camera combines the charge collected in two adjacent pixels. This
halves the effective resolution to 1024 pixels, but doubles the sensitivity. The line rate is not
affected by binning.
