Shooting Still Pictures In A Higher Resolution (High Res Shot); Setting The Image Aspect - Olympus E-M5Mark II Instruction Manual

Shooting still pictures in a higher resolution (High Res Shot)

When shooting an unmoving subject, you can shoot pictures in a higher resolution. A
high resolution image is recorded by shooting several times while moving the imaging
sensor. Please shoot with the camera fi xed to a tripod or similar.
You can change the time between the shutter button is pressed all the way down and
the shutter is released in [High Res Shot] in X Shooting menu 2. Set to [Off] to hide
2 this setting item (P. 95). After setting high resolution shot, you can select the image
quality of the high resolution shooting using image quality mode (P. 61).
1 Press the Q button to select j/Y (sequential shooting/self timer).
2 Select h using the front dial and press the Q button.
3
Shoot.
• If the camera is unstable, h will blink. Wait for the blinking to stop before shooting.
Cautions
• Image quality is fi xed to LF.
• When image quality is set to RAW+JPEG, the camera saves a single RAW image
(extension ".ORI") before combining it into a High Res Shot. Pre-combination RAW
images can only be played back on the software that comes with this camera.
• When shooting under fl uorescent lighting etc., image quality may deteriorate.
• [Image Stabilizer] is set to [Off].

Setting the image aspect

You can change the aspect ratio (horizontal-to-vertical ratio) when taking pictures.
Depending on your preference, you can set the aspect ratio to [4:3] (standard), [16:9],
[3:2], [1:1], or [3:4].
1
Press the Q button and select an aspect ratio.
2
Use the front dial to select an aspect ratio and press the Q button.
Cautions
• JPEG images are cropped to the selected aspect ratio; RAW images, however, are not
cropped but are instead saved with information on the selected aspect ratio.
• When RAW images are played back, the selected aspect ratio is shown by a frame.
