8.6 Set Binning 

The purpose of setting binning is to enhance sensibility. With binning, multiple sensor pixels are 
combined as a single pixel to reduce resolution and improve image brightness. You can set binning 
as shown below. 

Steps: 

1.

 

Click Image Format Control. 

2.

 

Enter proper value in Binning Horizontal and Binning Vertical. 

 

Figure 8-12

 

Set Binning 

 

 

Binning  Horizontal  refers  to  the  image’s  width,  and  Binning  Vertical  refers  to  the  image’s 
height. 

 

For  different  models  of  camera,  the  binning  function  may  be  different,  please  refer  to  the 
actual one you got. 

8.7 Set Exposure Mode 

 

The  camera  supports  exposure  function.  For  specific  exposure  range  that  the  camera  supports, 
please refer to the specifications of the camera. 

The camera has 3 types of exposure: Off, Once and Continuous. The exposure mode and principle 
are shown below.
