How Binning Works
On color cameras, the camera combines (sums or averages) the pixel values of adjacent pixels of the
same color:

When the horizontal Binning factor and the vertical Binning factor are both set to 2, the camera combines
the adjacent 4 sub-pixels of the same color according to the corresponding positions, and outputs the
combined pixel values as one sub-pixel.

On monochrome cameras, the camera combines (sums or averages) the pixel values of directly adjacent
pixels:

Binning Factors
Two types of Binning are available: horizontal Binning and vertical Binning. You can set the Binning factor
in one or two directions.
