Decimation is used to reduce the image resolution while maintaining the field of view. A typical application is having live view of the lower resolution image to reduce camera bandwidth and increase framerate.
What is binning in image processing?
Binning is the term used to describe the technique of combining the output of adjacent pixels on a sensor. This can be performed on pixels in a single axis or, more commonly, in both directions.
How does pixel binning work?
How does pixel binning work? Pixel binning combines adjacent pixels to create artificially large "superpixels" that have higher light sensitivity than their constituent photosites do on their own. In most digital cameras, each pixel on an image sensor filters light to collect only certain wavelengths.
How do I turn off pixel binning?
You cannot disable pixel binning without the stock camera software.
