1. A stationary position apparatus for use in reading an indicia, wherein the stationary position apparatus comprises in combination:
- an imaging assembly comprising an image sensor having a plurality of pixels and optics focusing an image onto the image sensor, wherein the image sensor is a two dimensional image sensor;
wherein the stationary position apparatus is operable to capture a relatively smaller sized frame of image data and responsively to a processing of the relatively smaller sized frame of image data capture one or more relatively larger sized frame of image data for use in attempting to decode the indicia, the one or more relatively larger sized frame of image data having image data corresponding to a predetermined set of pixels of said image sensor and representing a larger portion of the indicia than image data of the relatively smaller sized frame of image data;
wherein the stationary position apparatus is adapted to be maintained in a stationary position, and wherein the stationary position apparatus is operable for use in reading of indicia on articles moved in relation to a field of view of the stationary position apparatus.

Abstract
There is described an imaging apparatus having an imaging assembly that includes an image sensor. The imaging apparatus can capture a frame of image data having image data corresponding to a first set of pixels of the image sensor. The imaging apparatus can capture a frame or image data having image data corresponding to a second set of pixels of the image sensor.
