A new dimension of subjective resolution Still images of art and architecture take on a new dimension of reality with unprecedented subjective resolution. Lifelike detail, texture, color, and atmosphere Pixel Shift Multi Shooting : Superior resolution from 42.4 megapixel RGB information NEW This new feature takes advantage of the advanced in-body image stabilization system control capability available in the 7R III, precisely shifting the sensor in 1-pixel increments to capture four pixel-shifted images containing a total of approx- imately 169.6 million pixels* that are later composited using a computer to achieve overwhelming subjective resolution in a single image. Still images are captured with true-tolife details, texture, and color, with minimal moiré and color artifacts. * Image size after compositing is approx. 42.4 million (7952 x 5304) pixels. Notes A dedicated software application is required for compositing. Image compositing may not be successful if camera or subject movement causes blur. The use of a tripod is recommended, as is the use of PC tethered control or a remote commander (when PC tethered control is not being used) where possible. Uncompressed RAW and silent mode are automatically selected for Pixel Shift Multi shooting. Some restrictions apply to flash and other devices. Refer to the Sony support site for details. http://www.sony.net/psms/ Even the atmosphere of the subject and surroundings are reproduced with breathtaking fidelity, making Pixel Shift Multi Shooting an ideal technology for archival images of art, architecture, and more. Normal single shot Pixel Shift Multi Shooting after compositing 24 The Pixel Shift Multi Shooting principle In a "normal" digital capture each pixel represents just one color: red, green, or blue. The surrounding pixels are used to supply the necessary extra information required to interpolate and reproduce the remaining two primary colors. Pixel Shift Multi Shooting, however, composites four pixel-shifted images so that each of the sensor's 42.4 million effective pixels can represent red, green, and blue values simultaneously. Extra interpolation becomes unnecessary so the data from the sensor can be directly synthesized to recreate the final colors. The result is unprecedented reproduction accuracy and detail for true-to-life textures. Images shot using this feature can be processed using the dedicated PC software from Sony running on a personal computer.
