1. A pixel integrated circuit comprising:
a b-bit counter;
a data line arranged to transmit a value of a most significant bit of the b-bit counter; and
read-out circuitry configured to:
read the most significant bit at a higher read-out rate than a read-out rate for other bits of the b-bit counter;
determine a count rate from a first count accumulated by the b-bit counter for a first time period; and
determine one or more times at which to read-out the MSB of the b-bit counter for a second count accumulated by the b-bit counter for a second time period that is longer than the first time period.
