Functions Binning Mode The mode used when the sensitivity is increased and the frame rate is multiplied based on mixing the CCD pixel data, is called the Binning mode. There are two types of binning: 1 × 2 binning when the output image is compressed in the vertical direction only, and 2 × 2 binning when the image is compressed in both the vertical and horizontal directions. When Binning mode is used, set either Format7 Mode1 (2 × 2 binning), or Format7 Mode2 (1 × 2 binning). Format7 Mode4
