Vertical binning

Vertical binning increases the light sensitivity of the camera by a factor of

two (4 or 8) by adding together the values of two (4 or 8) adjoining vertical

pixels output as a single pixel. This is done directly in the horizontal shift

Format_7 Mode_2 By default and without further remapping use Format_7 Mode_2 for

2 x vertical binning.

This reduces vertical resolution, depending on the model.
