Q: What is the Pixel shft Resolution ?
A: The in-body SR (shake reduction) mechanism is used to move the image sensor unit in minute
increments, a single pixel pitch at a time, to capture four shots. Pixel Shift Resolution merges those
shots into a single image to generate an ultra high-definition image. This method differs from the
traditional Bayer method, which acquires only a single element of color information for single pixel, by
acquiring all RGB color information for individual pixel. This difference makes it excellent for detail and
color reproduction, creating super high-definition images. This also prevents false colors from occurring
theoretically, and also has a high-sensitivity noise reduction effect when compared to normal shooting.
Photographed RAW images can be processed on the camera and also developed using the included
utility software as Pixel Shift Resolution.
*Be sure to use a tripod for thorough stabilization when shooting.
*When shooting, use Drive Mode options: Self-timer, Remote Control, or Mirror Lock-up Shooting.
*Effects may not be gained if the subject moves or the camera shakes.
