Binning
Binning can improve the light sensitivity of the sensor by treating adjacent 
pixels as a single pixel. Binning allows the image sensor to collect more 
electrons per pixel, which reduces the amount of required light and 
exposure time. Binning results in higher frame rates and lower spatial 
resolution in the vertical direction. The NI Smart Camera supports 
1 × 2 binning. Figure 3-3 illustrates what happens to the sensor output 
during binning.

Gain
Gain is a multiplier applied to the analog signal prior to digitization. 
Increasing the gain increases the amplitude of the signal. Gain allows you 
to trade off between making smaller signals more visible at the cost of 
increased noise and no longer being able to differentiate between larger 
signals. For most applications, the NI Smart Camera default gain setting 
optimizes the balance between small signals and large signals.
