Pixel Shift Multi Shooting
In “Pixel Shift Multi Shooting” the camera shoots four or sixteen RAW images while shifting the image sensor one pixel or half pixel at a time using the SteadyShot function of the Sony a series. You can generate images with higher resolution than is possible with regular shooting by combining these images on a computer using Imaging Edge Desktop (Viewer). This feature is helpful when shooting still subjects such as artworks and architectural structures.
There are two methods to combine images: First, combine the images automatically after shooting using Imaging Edge Desktop (Remote). Second, import the images to a computer and combine them using Viewer after shooting using only the camera.
