An imaging system is disclosed comprising a plurality of pixels; a pixel readout means for producing a plurality of first image frames; a image output means for producing a plurality of second image frames and operable to produce a second image frame from more than one of the first image frames, wherein the pixel readout means is enabled to produce the first images frames at a rate faster than the image output means produces the second image frames. Through combining first image frames, by averaging or other statistical combinations, the photon shot noise of second image frames can be reduced. Photon shot noise affects images with high light levels more than those with low light levels and, as such, the invention also discloses altering the rate of first image frames dependent on the current light levels.
