[@aliputera113]

This is amazing. I remember where in 2016 I used the olympus PEN F to get a high res 80 Mpx photo where I could get a RAW photo. Before taking the photo, I was able to increase the shadow by 1 stop and decrease the highlight. Incredible for this camera. Now it can be handheld. In my opinion, for technology, Olympus is one of the leading cameras.

[@bakermantube]

Thank you for explaining this awesome technique of Olympus. I am a Pen-F owner and photography is my hobby. If I would have more time for my hobby, I would buy this EM1 Mark III. I fell in love with the Pen-F 2 1/2 years ago and this will be my tool for a while.

[@jerryhsusc]

[@Mr.Camera]

I am sending this message from Hiroshima, Japan. I used to use the Olympus E-M1 Mark II, but about a month ago I changed it to a new Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III. The lenses are OLYMPUS M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 300mm F4.0 IS PRO and OLYMPUS M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 45mm F1.8 [Black] I have an OLYMPUS M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 17mm F1.8 [Black] and an OLYMPUS M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 25mm F1.2 PRO. I really like this camera because it looks really cool.

Robin, thank you for making these excellent videos. Based largely on your content I went ahead and bought the new OM-D E-M1 iii to use as my walking around/no tripod/no filters/bad weather/landscape backup camera.

[@jerryhughes4720]

Al Very understandable reasons. In future videos it would be good to see more of your macro techniques. If you can especially look at the flash options you use. If Olympus would loan you a twin flash that would be really good to incorporate or even as a one-off, as far as I can see there are very few videos on this bar the first product launches. I really appreciate your enthusiasm and common sense in these videos.

[@Isaac________]

Thanks. Would be nice to see a direct comparison between the handheld / tripod mode shots to see if there's a difference as Olympus claims.

[@DaveHaynie]

Tripod hires is totally consistent from shot to shot, and it inherently delivers better color -- four samples per pixel, RGGB, and no need for Bayer interpolation. HHHR is excellent, and it gets in more samples, but it can't do the extended color thing. I'm honestly very happy with both options.

[@ggwildlife]

*THUMBSUP* great stuff Robin

[@mrgabrielssalvation]

Hi Robin, a few days I asked exactly for this video. Now you did it. THANKS A LOT !!!

[@theosolberg]

I received my E-M1 Mark III two days ago. Yesterday I tried the hand held high res feature, shooting a few orchids on my window sill. I loved the details in the shots. I didn't know about the f8 limit, so I shot with f5.6 and the camera did not protest and according to the info in the picture this was indeed the aperture pics were shot with.

[@AngelikuS_]

High-resolution shooting by hand is valid for static subjects or landscapes where almost nothing moves (with air it doesn't matter). It is the same as shooting with native iso at night, it works well for the stabilizer, but just like shooting high you cannot take fast photos with higher resolution, nor at night take fast photos with low iso because the sensor has to be more discovered time (photo of more exposure time to compensate). If you always want resolution, you should go to a system type sony a7R. greetings from Spain Robin!

[@dfotos]

As every time, this video is again very informative!

[@ha7179]

There goes your cat in the background haha never fails. 3:47

[@johnshares]

Well who’s had a close haircut ? Very smooth Robin 😁😁

[@stewartlogie]

I’ve had a chance to try the feature now - quite impressive. An alternative is to upres with Topaz Gigapixel AI. I compared both methods and the high res shot does pick out the odd tiny detail that the Topaz software doesn’t. I wouldn’t hesitate to shoot standard and upres in post - Topaz Gigapixel AI is very good, though it takes a while on the computer. Next I need to try high dynamic range subjects to see any improvement there.

[@DaveHaynie]

Topaz is great software, but when it uprezzes, it's basically inventing detail. That's not necessarily a bad thing: we judge a photo based on what our brains see. But Olympus hires modes capture more detail. Both of them. The reason there's an f/8.0 limit is that they need the lens to resolve more detail. A very good lens might have 50 megapixels or so of resolution at f/8.0, but you lose half resolution of that to diffraction at f/11. So they cut that off.

[@alessandromarzorati6668]

Thank you Robin you are the best! Can you tell us in a video what is the best 1.2 lens in the trio of pro primes? Bye from Italy!

[@robinwong]

All the F1.2 lenses are equally amazing. They are not the same focal length so no point comparing.

Hi Robin, Love love love your videos! Question. What's the advantage of shooting hi res handheld versus HDR?

[@LevideoHD]

[@catherinetremerryn]

Great tutorial. Can you use any lens for the high res shot?

[@JohnAudioTech]

An additional benefit of high res modes would be the reduction of "moire" that you may see in some high detail patterns such as in clothing and patterns in distant buildings.

[@robinwong]

That one is only true for Tripod High Res, it is not applicable for hand-held high res mode.

I think this is my favorite video of yours, the amount of info about how HHHR works is way more than I've heard by reading everything I could. I had no idea they got a cleaner image, or that it merged movement using one of the stills, this feature just blew away the competition, I'm probably trading in my EM1 mk2 really soon because the little things are starting to really add up.

Sure it's great feature for Olympus shooters who keep claiming they dont need better sensor and higher resolution :-D

[@bkaustav]

Very nice 👌.. I always enjoyed your blogs... Now these videos... Does hand held give better results with sync is??

[@robinwong]

Thanks. The IS performance is the same, it won't make it better or worse. But it gets tricky with slower shutter speeds, as compositing time gets longer (taking 16 shots), slower shutter speeds causes higher chance of error.

[@allanchin8814]

Hi Robin, I'm Allan Chin from Singapore. I have been following your Streaming most of them. You are indeed A Great Tutorial on Oly OMD. Thumbs Up! Here I need your advice-I do own S Pana Leica 100-400mm Len. Do u think is worth to invest on the Oly 100-400mm Len?

[@PTYC933]

Thanks for the deep explanation, I've been combing through dpreview for these high iso high res photo since the G9, but they usually stop at 3200, that 6400 photo does look a lot cleaner. There's definitely going to be limits for pixel shifting, think of it as like gigapixel AI, or deep fusion in iPhones, relatively newish tech, with further development in this field, there will be more parity to real 1 shot 50 megapixel or higher, using a faster processor, better AI to determine what to upscale instead, like gigapixel sharpen for things in motion and since the photos are going to be cleaner, take with higher iso for faster framerate. Look at google pixel HDR plus, wasn't great in the beginning, now many people prefer its stylised look.

[@robinwong]

The 50MP high res shot both tripod and hand-held (of course tripod is better) produces images that can even surpass actual 50MP single capture image sensor.

[@PTYC933]

@@robinwong that's really interesting, guessing with the overlapping of RGB, gives it more accurate colour depth, maybe similar to the sigma foveon sensor idea, sensor stacking for a higher resolving lowish megapixel, more true to live textures as well.

[@Quoutub]

Robin Wong I don't think so regarding the handheld sample images I have seen from the E-M1X. Only in not perfect light conditions (or shadow areas) it could outperform a medium format sensor with the same f number because 16 frames of a 4/3" type sensor capture more light than 1 frame of a medium format sensor.

[@tappersreviews4677]

Olympus has developed some wonderful technologies. It makes me sad knowing this camera, EM1 III, may represent the final evolution of the system. Smartphones are doing truly remarkable image processing that lets them punch far above their what their tiny sensors and lenses would normally allow. Had Olympus imaging division survived as normal, perhaps we would’ve seen even more amazing processing in camera. Olympus has been one of the more innovative companies in that regard. I know the new owners claim they will continue the brand, but I’m skeptical for the future.

[@systemanaturae105]

Great video clip Robin. This hand held High Res Shot could be very useful to me with my wildlife/nature photos and in particular with my photos production as a video clip using the “Ken Burns” Zoom in software in my Final Cut Pro editing software. After all there is 6K HD TV and I believe an 8K has just been released. I wonder if this handheld High Res mode is to some degree dependent on the lens?? How well would this work with say a 400mm telephoto or 200mm macro lens where any hand movement is increased ??

[@spanksen]

Thanks for these Informations Robin. Is the Dynamic Range in the 50 Megapixel Handheld Shot better than the normal 20 Megapixel Shot?

[@robinwong]

Olympus did not report any improvements in dynamic range, and I did not notice any in my tests. If there was, it was not big enough difference to be noticeable.

[@macpaddy6943]

Dear mr Wong, thank you for your video, I would like to know if I can use the hires resolution ( 80 Mp ) with tripod to do astrophotography combine with the starry sky af ? Thankful for your return .

[@arnarn4112]

I wonder if there is benefit to using the HHHR mode on a tripod? Since there is the improved noise performance to this mode, I wonder if you also get a bit more reliably sharp images with a tripod?

[@robinwong]

Why not use tripod high Res shot?

[@DaveHaynie]

It probably won't work well at all. The technique they're using, called DRIZZLE, requires some small movement from image to image. You get this from natural microtremors in the hands when used hand-held. Google uses this for their portrait mode in the Pixel 3 and telephoto in the Pixel 4, and they actually use the image stabilizer to randomly shift the sensor just a bit shot to shot, if the phone isn't moving. I do not know if Olympus is doing this, since the tripod hires will produce a somewhat better image anyway, even with only half the samples, because of the exact per pixel sampling.

[@ravimahara4741]

So basically Olympus has incorporated a superfast camera and stacker in a single body. That's innovative.

[@petarslo13]

Hi Robin, would be good to know if "Highlights" are different when the setting is on Single shot or on Hi-Res, with same A-S-ISO. I get we have around 2 stops more.

Its available on the Sony A7rIII/IV cameras. Watch Mark Galers take on this subject on YT. Ps you need software "Viewer" from Sony to Process the files, Not in camera I believe.

[@DaveHaynie]

@@victorcarmelo8606 Sony's pixel shift hires is the same as what Olympus calls tripod hires -- it's sensor shift hires. They don't do hand-held hires. Pentax added hand-held hires several years ago. The A7III does a four-shot pixel shift shot... no extra resolution, but it does the same RGGB samples per pixel as Olympus does, so it's effectively about 20% sharper, with less noise and better color. The shots are separate on your memory card, you have to use Sony's Imaging Edge to knit them together into a single DNG file. The A7RIV can do a 16-shot pixel shift composite... because everyone needs a 240 megapixel image? But neither are hand-held. Panasonic has sensor shift hires, too, but not handheld. They are completely different.

Try high Rez on fast moving water. Causes blure as if you shot at very long exposure. You don't need a neutral density filter

[@robinwong]

The moving water will be blurred not because of motion, but because of lower resolution in moving area. That is different from the effect from using ND filter.

[@vinceherried497]

To me, looks same as if you did a long exposure. I think of it like what would happen if you took multi exposures of a moving subject. The subject would be blurred not lower resolution. drive.google.com/file/d/1FeS5VTABknuIYIlhRa0HSSwtYcnKIIeR/view?usp=sharing

Hi Robin, thanks! Another great video. One question is this high res shot compable with live composite or live time?

[@Quoutub]

They need to make the processing faster. And it shouldn't cause ghosting or other bad artifacts. Then it would be a fantastic multi frame noise reduction mode. It is probably already a great feature and might give you better quality than full frame. As far as I know no other large camera can combine 16 handheld raw photos. I heard that Pentax can combine 4 (?) handheld raw photos. Sony, Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, Fujifilm can't combine handheld raw photos as far as I know.

Is it possible to customize an other button for the menu instead using the dedicated menu button? I like to switch to the menu even if I only use the EVF om my E-M5II?

[@MiaogisTeas]

Depends on what you're shooting and why. Personally, I've found Capture One to be the best overall image editor. Very fast, very stable, and no need for Photoshop or any of Adobe's rubbish. For travel and 360° image processing, Aurora HDR and Luminar are sufficient. They're much slower and less stable, but powerful enough for casual work and HDR compositing. Let us know how you get on with the new camera!

[@waywardriley]

@@MiaogisTeas Great info and thank you! I will look into Capture One.

[@edwintam2349]

Excellent overview. I said this in another review by another Olympus visionary... I used to think it was better to consider reviews by "objective reviewers", but I find the commentary by dedicated brand photographers (Olympus visionaries, Fuji ambassadors, etc.) to be *far* more informative. Sure the reviews might be biased.... so what? Nothing is truly objective, even in engineering and science. I find the cursory 20 minute review from regular reviewers to be often too light on the actual operation and indepth usage of the camera (there are a few exceptions). The brand photographers try to exploit every conceivable function and push the cameras to their limits. Ah... now that's more far more informative! And what I see confirms what I thought of the EM1Mk2 high res shot when I first used it a while back... fantastic imagery but honestly, unless I'm pixel peeping, I found the extra high resolution to be mostly unnecessary and even unnoticeable in ordinary viewing. Sure there are exceptions when the extra high resolution is critical, but for the most part, a well shot 20 MP image is going to serve everyone very well.

[@robinwong]

Thanks for the show of support and kind words. I make a lot of videos, very few of them are reviews. This one particular video was me sharing my knowledge on certain features in the camera, and I want to be very clear in my sharing that there are limitations to this feature/technique. I always give a full picture and I never "oversell" the camera's capabilities.

[@peterlemke3468]

Fair comment well said. I enjoy Robin's videos so much because they are so instructive. As you say he shows what the Olympus cameras and lenses are capable of. I remember recently being truly surprised just how capable a camera the EM5 III was for video.

[@MiaogisTeas]

I have to agree. What I like about Robin's videos (similar to Red43) is that he points out the benefits and flaws. As for high-res mode, it's perfect for making nearly noiseless composite HDR architecture and real estate images, or for use when capturing a 360° sphere.

[@DaveHaynie]

The folks working with the camera companies are real photographers as well as brand reps, and they're there because they believe in the systems. They're also really, really well educated about these systems. You'd kind of expect that from pros, but not every one is. As an electronics engineer and a photographer, I learn this stuff pretty well, and it's pretty common to get bad or "uncooked" information from random KZbin guys... even really well known ones. But so far, not from guys like Robin! Olympus and the others really do have their pick of reps.

There is an additional advantage of HR shot, and that is a reduction of moire.

[@robinwong]

That is only true for tripod high Res shot, not for hand-held high res

[@AbrahamLatchin]

@@robinwong Are you sure? Moire is caused by pattern interference, it seems sensible that patterns interference would be reduced or eliminated by an improved signal.

[@robinwong]

No, Moire is caused by interpolation of pixel colours. For normal RGB Bayer sensor, each pixel is filtered to record either red, green or blue colour. One pixel normally does not record more than one colour information. Moire happens in photographs when the pixels fail to resolve sufficient color information due to limitation of each pixel only recording one colour This problem was solved in tripod high Res shot because the pixels are overlapped multiple times, hence each pixel has multiple color information recorded, true red, green and blue colours. This resolves the final image with much better color information, mitigating false color patterns (Moire). Since hand held high Res shot does not overlap the pixels in fixed pattern, there is a chance the pixels never truly merge and still have missing color information.

[@AbrahamLatchin]

[@stewartlogie]

After experimenting on many subjects I have to say I find the hand held high res shot mode to be of no value. Despite what Robin claims, the camera is not smart enough to detect movement and substitute the regular resolution pixels. It just gives you blurry sections. Only scenes with no movement (no clouds, no water, no leaves) is the file of any use. Scaling the regular image in Topaz Gigapixel AI gives more reliable results when you need more pixels.

[@weizenobstmusli8232]

I found that highres can compensate small movement, i.e. of leafes on a landscape shot. Only if it has more wind it starts giving artifacts. On days with only small wind I now use it confidently, and the result is amazing. But there certainly is a limit to the technique.

[@LarsKiel]

👍

[@stewartlogie]

Not much dialog here. My experience contrasts with Robin's assertion that areas of movement would be substituted with a lower resolution portion of the image. In a couple of captures that had some leaf movement those leaves were grossly blurred. The camera did not detect movement and replace that section of the image with a single capture. The image was unusable. A normal exposure that I took of the same scene was fine. My conclusion is that the feature is of no value if there is any movement in the scene.

There is no free lunch, i found the 45 MP file from my old a7 R 3 and my really old D850 always better than those high res mode 50 MP image from my OMD E-M1x, same for the Live ND, a real ND works better than Live ND every single time, at least i don't have to stuck with that stupid 1/2 second shutter speed limit. Even when i don't have a real filter with me i still rather shoot bunch of pic and stack them in PS myself instead. I found all those Olympus " computational " feature are really just some marketing gimmicks. Nothing you can't do without it, you can only get a better result using the traditional methods instead.

Give olympus a few years and maybe one day the cameras will use high res shot on every photo and the micro four thirds system vil have the same image resolution as full frame 😊

[@MiaogisTeas]

What would be the point? Most people using full-frame aren't doing anything with their images but putting them on Instagram at 1600 anyway. If you need high resolution for something like archival images or magazine prints that will be retouched to death, you use a professional medium format camera. High quality APS-C and M43 cameras are smaller, lighter, cheaper, and faster than anything in the full-frame world. Just like DSLRs, so-called "full-frame" systems are in peril.

​@@MiaogisTeas As for magazines... 20 mp are just fine for a Berliner format magazine's double spread (that is the maximum size, i.e 45x32 cm, of the 99,5% of magazines printed globaly). And they can ...suffer a lot of post processing punishment, limited either by a purely exposed image or moderate glass. The use for FF or MF cams is only needed in very very special cases (huge cropping, luxurious items advertising et such).

Hey Wong, to many words to say that Olympus is trying to put interpolation in fashion, we are getting more and more far from reality, but Who cares ? Try to make this test, take a film shot maybe with Velvia 50 iso and then compare with the Olympus 50MP interpolated images and you will see lots of differences.

[@robinwong]

The first mistake you did - assume it is an interpolation. Interpolation means adding and filling in missing data by analyzing actual data. Hand held high Res shot did not add any missing data, it pulls real actual data from 16 real full resolution images. Your understanding on how the feature works is flawed. Who cares? Real photographers care because we want the camera to make a real difference.

[@ivanguerra1260]

Oh man. How fast you are, Did you make the test ? You are faster than your Olympus, How camera bodies they give you to make this UTube Olympus propaganda ? Do they included the lenses or you have to pay ?

[@robinwong]

@@ivanguerra1260 oops, nothing else to say when you are proven wrong? But to attack me with baseless assumptions instead? Be a real gentlemen and admit your mistake. Else you are just another troll making useless noise in the internet.

[@DaveHaynie]

Two problems here. First of all, while transparency film like Veliva 50 is not grainy, it's not terribly sharp, either. Dye clouds in typical low ISO transparency films run 5-15um, yes, it's random on the same bit of film. So it's very clear but not high resolution. Second problem: neither hires mode is classic. The tripod hires is shooting two full RGGB 20 megapixel images overlapped by 1/2 pixel. So that's a straight-up 40 megapixels of information, and without the loss of resolution due to Bayer de-matrixing, it's at least 50 megapixels worth, though to make a proper pixel matrix it's interpolated from a 40 megapixel interstitial array to an 80 megapixel proper array. The f/8.0 limit is due to diffraction. You can't get more resolution than the lens delivers. Handheld hires is snapping 16 randomly offset images and using a DRIZZLE algorithm to uprez. Again, not interpolation, but the real thing. DRIZZLE was originally invented by NASA for use in the Hubble Space Telescope. It's also used in Google's Pixel 3/4 phones for software zoom.
