Tony, what would be better when it comes to camera movement is for having an option for the camera to chooser when to shoot. The latest Phase One camera system has an option where the camera detects movement and will not take a picture until the movement has ceased. May not guarantee a perfect shot, but at least will make keepers more likely to occur.

I've used the pixel shift for months, hundreds of images. The Sony software may perform pooly, but it is slow as cold molasses and crashes a lot, too. Tony, I've found that even though my house is solid and I have the camera etc. almost over the foundation, my heartbeat causes enough vibration, through the bottom of my chair, floor, and up the table, to ruin pixel shift exposures. When you get them right, the comets and fortunes align, it's fantastic. But what a pain to use.

The Pentax K-1 does everything in camera (or in post if you wish), including saving the PS jpg (which are great btw), allowing you to view it and zooom in, re-processing in-camera with different movement correction settings... It's much more reliable than what you describe the A7Riii (i still use the remote), the first RAW is available in case you need it... I and i haven't had to use my heavy tripod either. PS is really worth using particularly for picking up fine details including textures, and for beating moire. This is a bit of a disapointment from Sony, maybe they could collaborate a bit more with Pentax, get some help for PS images, Pentax could certainly use some Sony expertise in other areas.

Thanks for this Tony. Could you explain the requirement for a minimum of 1 second delay between pixel-shifted images please?

Also, as you mentioned, AF w/ shutter defaults to On and cannot be altered in Px. Shift Multi Shoot mode, but you _can_ change to MF in order to prevent the shutter release from compromising focus.

The K-1 implementation is substantially superior to the Sony. Seems like the Sony is a step backward. I use the K-1 for shooting non-moving macro subjects and copy work. Release the shutter, 4 frames are shot via electronic shutter. A few seconds later you get a single raw file that LR handles just fine. The only issues with the K-1 is if shooting subjects with movement then you need to the pentax silkypix software to properly deal with those files. If you shoot non-moving subjects and want pixel shift it does not get better than the K-1.

It seems to do a good job adding some extra detail but my main problem is the raw editor. The color profiles sony starts your image out with is pretty crappy. Also often there's a lot more processing to do on an image in the raw stage I like to do then what tony did in this video before exposing the image to a tiff. I know I know.... just edit the image in lightroom after. But one thing that was left out of this tutorial was to adjust white balance settings before exporting to a tiff. If you don't then you will lose the ability to make adjustments to white balance in Kelvin as a RAW file in lightroom. Instead you have this kinda warming cooling filter as a white balance slider white is not good. So again you might ask why not just edit white balance in Sonyʻs RAW editor? Well... after I applied the picture style to neutral and turned off sharpening and noise reduction Sonyʻs software was running terribly slow. The photo was stuck in this kinda blurry state kinda how an image looks as its loading in lightroom. I know my computer is not that slow. I think that Sonyʻs software is just that crappy. Anyways, I didn't think I would have had to mess with the white balance much since the images in lightroom looked pretty good as shot. The tiff that Sonyʻs editor processed came out with a magenta cast. I really hope adobe will provide support for pixel shift. I think it could be a really powerful tool.but using external editors like sonyʻs and canonʻs just are not practical.

What are you shooting today? The Nikon 24-70 is even worse than the Sony (both versions) The Canon 24-70 II is sharper than the Sony at the tele end 50-70mm.

I think once your sensor is 46 MP or more you need a decent tripod anyway.

Yeah, I think panoramas are generally going to be easier and more consistent for landscapes. This technique is still handy for product photography and for times when you can't zoom in any tighter.

Sounds like way more trouble than it's worth, except for a narrow field of usage.

May I suggest that you do some audio editing to remove the signal clipping. Your "S's" are clipping and turn into whistles. You can set parameters to cut off the highest and lowest frequencies to prevent that. Thanks for the informative video!

seems like a waste of time to use pixel shift to gain a little bit of sharpness when people are fine with what they're working with now.

Basically, 99% useless. Get a digital back and be done for such needs. My Sony in 2 years now stopped displaying from the large screen. So u have setup a rig with a 7" monitor to work with for still. Or just using the viewfinder. But now the micro HDMI slot is very "jiggly" and the socket feel loose. And now the camera turns in and often does not show ANY output from monitor OR viewfinder. It has delays in starting up, and has childish splash screens between modes you change (M,Tv,S,..). This camera while has a great sensor, it just doesn't hold up. I still have my 5Dm2 that's been through so much, while the A7RII I've been quite careful with. So now I have to use yet another Can in body/5dm3, and for studio the Phase One 45+ back does the job. Do for a Sony product, I guess it's as expected. I'll wait for a Canon counter model.

"any seismic activity will ruin your shot" - well that's that for me then, given that I live in California on the fault lines :-D

Seems like a lot of trouble to get little improvement. Be that as it may, If you have it - enjoy it.
