Pixel Shift Shooting Settings

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]

Choose the interval between shots, in seconds.

  • If you are using an optional speedlight, choose an interval longer than the time needed for the speedlight to charge. If the interval is too short, the speedlight may not fire or fire at less than the power needed for full exposure.
