Camera settings

Hello !!!!

I´m new with ZWO ccd cameras. I´m using SGP as my main software. When you select the camera, you can set RAW 8, Y8 and RAW 16. What they mean and what are their differences? Also in the camera control window do you need to keep activated the "Anti-Dew" command?

How can you bining 1, 2 or 3 with this camera?

Thanks !!

RAW16 is the best option, it's 16bit depth, most precise format.

RAW8 is only 8bit depth, but the camera is 12bit, so the data will limit the performance of camera.

Y8 is color mode, not a good option too.

anti-dew only need to open when the eviroment have dew problem.

bin1 is good, it's full resolution, no binning.

bin2 4 pixels combine to 1 pixel.

bin3 9 pixels combine to 1 pixel.
