Readout of the CCD begins wi[...]

48 PI - MTE System Manual Version 4.C Binning also reduces readout ti me and the burden on computer m emory, but at the expense of resolut ion. Since shift register pixels t ypically hold only twice as much charge as imag e pixels, t he binning of large sections may result in saturati on and “blooming”, or spilling of c harge back into the imag[...]

Chapter 5 Operation 49 This techni que is also useful in high light level experi ments, where the camera is again photon shot-noise limited.
