PIXEL SHIFT MULTI SHOT

The camera takes a series of 16 shots, using in-body image stabilization to move the image sensor by half a pixel with each shot and recording each frame in RAW format. Using specialized computer software, the frames can then be combined to create a high-resolution RAW picture.

  1. Rotate the DRIVE mode dial to MULTI.
  2. Press the DRIVE button to view drive mode options.
  3. Select PIXEL SHIFT MULTI SHOT and choose a value for INTERVAL.
    • We recommend setting INTERVAL to SHORTEST.
    • If you intend to use the fl ash with every shot, choose a value for INTERVAL long enough to allow the fl ash to charge between shots.
  4. Press the shutter button to start shooting.
    • The shots are recorded to the memory card in RAW format.
    • To minimize vibration, use the self-timer or a remote release.
  5. Combine the shots on a computer.
    • The shots can be combined using FUJIFILM Pixel Shift Combiner.
    • To save high-resolution RAW pictures in other formats, use Capture One Express Fujifilm, Capture One Pro Fujifilm, or Capture One Pro, available from Capture One A/S. FUJIFILM X RAW STUDIO and RAW FILE CONVERTER EX powered by SILKYPIX cannot be used for this purpose.
  • Visit the websites below to learn more about or download the following computer software:
  • Pixel-shift multi-shot photography can be performed via tethered shooting. For this purpose, use FUJIFILM Pixel Shift Combiner.
  • The fl ash will synchronize with the shutter at shutter speeds of 1⁄5 s or slower (14-bit RAW) or ½.5 s or slower (16-bit RAW).
  • The following limitations apply to the use of the pixel-shift multi-shot option:
    • Pixel-shift multi-shot photography can only be performed using the elec-tronic shutter.
    • Sensitivity is restricted to a maximum of ISO 1600. Choosing higher values or a setting of AUTO results in a sensitivity of ISO 1600, while lower values remain unchanged.
    • The only option available for RAW RECORDING > RECORDING TYPE is LOSSLESS.
    • Pictures taken with C (AF-C) selected for focus mode will be shot in focus mode S (AF-S). Pictures taken with A (AF-S) or M (manual) selected are shot in the chosen focus mode.
    • If the subject or camera moves during shooting, the desired results may not be achieved when the shots are combined.
    • SHOOTING SETTING > FLICKER REDUCTION is automatically set to OFF.
    • The value selected for exposure compensation applies to all 16 shots.

Playback
Pictures taken using the pixel-shift multi-shot option are indicated by a pixel-shift multi-shot icon in full-frame playback.

RAW RECORDING

Choose whether to compress RAW images.

RECORDING TYPE

Option Description
UNCOMPRESSED RAW images are not compressed.
LOSSLESS RAW images are compressed using a reversible algorithm that reduces file size with no loss of image data. The images can be viewed in Capture One Express Fujifilm, RAW FILE CONVERTER EX powered by SILKYPIX, FUJIFILM X RAW STUDIO, or other software that supports "lossless" RAW compression. Quality is the same as UNCOMPRESSED but the resulting files are anywhere from about 30 to 90 percent (14-bit RAW) or 45 to 100 percent (16-bit RAW) of their uncompressed size.
COMPRESSED RAW images are compressed using a "lossy", non-reversible algorithm. Quality is about the same as UNCOMPRESSED but the resulting files are anywhere from about 25 to 35 percent (14-bit RAW) or 30 to 40 percent (16-bit RAW) of their uncompressed size.

OUTPUT DEPTH(bit)

Option Description
16bit RAW pictures are recorded at a bit depth of 16 bits.
14bit RAW pictures are recorded at a bit depth of 14 bits.

warning When selected, 16bit only takes effect in single-frame drive mode

FILM SIMULATION

Simulate the effects of different kinds of film, including black-and-white (with or without color filters). Choose a palette according to your subject and creative intent.

Velvia/VIVID A high-contrast palette of saturated colors, suited to nature photos.
ASTIA/SOFT Enhances the range of hues available for skin tones in portraits while preserving the bright blues of daylight skies.
Recommended for outdoor portrait photography.
CLASSIC CHROME Soft color and enhanced shadow contrast for a calm look.
PRO Neg. Hi Offers slightly more contrast than PRO Neg. Std.Recommended for outdoor portrait photography.
PRO Neg. Std A soft-toned palette. The range of hues available for skin tones is enhanced, making this a good choice for studio portrait photography.

    FRAMES Choose the number of shots.
    STEP Choose the amount focus changes with each shot.
    INTERVAL Choose the interval between shots.

Focus and FRAMES/STEP
The relation between focus and the options chosen for FRAMES and STEP is shown in the illustration.
Focus and FRAMES/STEP

  • Focus proceeds from the starting position toward infinity.
  • Small STEP values translate to small changes in focus, larger values to larger changes.
  • Regardless of the option chosen for FRAMES, shooting ends when focus reaches infinity.
  • AUTO: In AUTO mode, the camera calculates FRAMES and STEP automatically.
  1. Select SHOOTING SETTING in the shooting menu, highlight FOCUS BKT, and press MENU/OK.
  2. Select AUTO and choose an INTERVAL. The view through the lens will be displayed.
  3. Focus on the nearest end of the subject and press MENU/OK.
    The selected focus distance appears as A on the focus distance indicator.
    The same focus range can be chosen by focusing on the farthest end of the subject first.

  4. Focus on the farthest end of the subject and press DISP/BACK. The selected focus distance (B) and focus range (A to B) appear on the focus distance indicator.
    Instead of pressing the DISP/BACK button, you can press MENU/OK and select A again.

  5. Take photographs. The camera will calculate values for FRAMES and STEP automatically. The number of frames will appear in the display.
