11.8 Binning

With binning, multiple sensor pixels are combined and reported out of the camera as a single pixel.
Binning Directions
You can set binning in two directions: horizontal or vertical.
With horizontal binning, adjacent pixels from a specific number of columns are combined

and are reported out of the camera as a single pixel.
With vertical binning, adjacent pixels from a specific number of rows in the imaging sensor

array are combined and are reported out of the camera as a single pixel.
You can use both horizontal and vertical binning at the same time. However, if you use a different
binning factor for horizontal and vertical binning, objects will appear distorted in the image. For more
information about possible image distortion, see Section 11.8.3 on
The number of binned pixels depends on the horizontal binning and the vertical binning settings.
For more information about the binning settings, see Section 11.8.1 on
Binning Modes
Two modes can be used to perform binning:
Sum: The values of the affected pixels are summed. This increases the camera's response to

light and the signal-to-noise ratio.
Average: The values of the affected pixels are averaged. This increases the signal-to-noise

ratio without changing the camera's response to light.
Both modes reduce the amount of image data to be transferred. This may result in higher camera
frame rates.
On some camera models, the binning modes used by the camera are preset and can't be changed.
On other camera models, the binning modes can be set. For more information, see Section 11.8.2
