Binning
Binning is the combining of two image sensor pixels to form a new combined pixel. A binned
image using the same exposure settings as a non-binned image will show an improved
signal-to-noise ratio, reduced scanning times (due to lower spatial resolution) and save as a
smaller image file size compared with a non-binned image, at the expense of lower image
resolution.
This camera provides only 1 x 1 pixel binning format.
