The read user offset commands allow the user to read back this information from the
camera.
Note: Register 3 contains other configuration data. All bits must bet set to the appropriate
values.
Reading Offset from the Camera
To read the offset setting from the camera, use these commands:
Read LSB Read MSB
Binary 1100 1000 1100 0100
Hex C8h C4h
3.8 Controlling Binning
Binning increases the camera’s light sensitivity by decreasing horizontal and vertical
resolution—the charge collected by adjacent pixels is added together.

The 6M3P is capable of up to 8 x 8 binning. 7RHQDEOHELQQLQJ you must write bits [1:0] to
control register 1.
Binning mode affects the pixel clock rate, maximum frame rate, and readout time.
