Set the camera for pixel shift shooting in [Pixel shift shooting] in the photo shooting menu.

Option Description
[Pixel shift shooting mode]
  • [On (series)]: Take multiple series of pixel shift pictures. To end pixel shift photography, select [Pixel shift shooting mode] again and choose [Off].
  • [On (single photo)]: End pixel shift photography after recording a single series.
  • [Off]: End pixel shift photography.
[Number of shots]

Choose the number of shots taken each time the shutter-release button is pressed.

  • Long series require more time to record but produce better-quality results when merged into a single image.
  • Unless there is a particular reason, 32 shots is recommended.
[Delay] Choose the delay between the shutter-release button being pressed all the way down and the start of pixel shift photography.
[Interval until next shot]
