Binning
Binning is the combining of two or more 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.
In 2 x 2 binning, 4 physical pixels on the sensor are combined into one image pixel. This operating
mode is ideal for applications that require faster acquisition and processing times and require
greater signal collection.
For this camera, the default binning value is 1 x 1,
The Binning Vertical and Binning Horizontal features in the Image Format category
represents the number of horizontal pixels that will be combined (added) together.
