This means that in horizontal binning the light sensitivity of the camera is also increased by a
factor of two (6 dB). Signal to noise separation improves by approx. 3 dB. Horiz

8.12.3 Full binning
If horizontal and vertical binning are combined, every 4 pixels are consolidated into a single
pixel. At first two horizontal pixels are put together and then combined vertically.
This increases light sensitivity by a total of a factor of 4 and at the same time signal to noise
aration is improved by about 6 dB. Resolution is reduced, depending on the model.
Format_7 Mode_3 to activate full binning.
