  • (a) providing a first two-dimensional array of pixels from the image capture device, some of which are color pixels, and some of which are panchromatic pixels;

    (b) determining in response to ambient lighting conditions, whether panchromatic pixels are to be combined with color pixels;

    (c) combining pixels determined from step (b) to produce a second two-dimensional array of pixels which has fewer pixels than the first two-dimensional array of pixels; and
