Thanks for a well crafted presentation, Tony! One thought though; the auto focus problem can be easily overcome by just shooting old legacy glass. My 48 year old 55mm Canon FL Lens produces magnificently sharp pixel shifts at f5.6.

Wouldn't you select manual focus, when making pixel shifted images so as to avoid something going wrong with AF, and also use the timer so you aren't touching the camera? 🤔

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.

I saw that you were adjusting the exposure in the Sony app, and then exporting as 8-bit TIFF. You said you can do it a few times at differerent exposures and then photo-merge in LR so that no highlights or shadows were lost. If you just save as 16 bit TIFF, nothing is lost.

Interesting results and is a shame that it's so sensitive to the smallest of vibration. I have used the Olympus EM-5 MkII pixel shift and it's amazing and up to 8 seconds per shot and flash support and is pretty amazing that the sensor could remain that still for that long of time and not drift over time. Tony, did you every get the chance to see if it supports using a flash for the Sony's pixel shift like the Olympus does?

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? A shorter delay would help to reduce subject movement between shots - so, do you think it's just to allow the sensor to settle into its new position? 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.

Out of passing interest; I've found shooting pixel shift with my Pentax K-3II produces more good shots with 'L' bracket use. My bracket is fairly massive, and I suspect it assists by 'soaking up' some minute internal camera vibration. Of course, the heavy tripod, mirror up and self timer are musts...

Work really well in the k1 is it's crazy effective on noise. I've been able to handheld shots taken at fast shutter and have the in camera combining render a perfectly fine picture. I don't like the pentax software but if needed I use it. The in camera results, processed in the last version of lightroom work well if you don't have movement to remove.

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.

The bits in the raw file don't equate to the bits in the tif. You can use the 16-bit tif, but it just gives you smoother gradients within the same dynamic range... In my testing I've never seen the benefit of 16 bit and it does increase file size and reduce performance. But feel free to use it!

Yeah but at least Sony having a go at new features, who knows how this will evolve, especially as fps is getting faster, imagine 500fps or more with pixel shift, suddenly it might become usable for handheld shots.

If R=400% improvement, G=400% improvement and B=200% improvement, now white is a combination of all 3, surely it must show some improvement, at least in where white pixels stop and end?

I thought the recommendation was to shoot pixel shift in Manual Focus?

Maybe if you use AF and then switch it to manual... But with this level of detail MF isn't precise enough.

Tony & Chelsea Northrup yeah, that makes sense. I definitely wouldn't let it do AF for each of type 4 shots. Once you set the AF point, carefully change to MF, as to not move camera (maybe remotely?) Pixel Shift as you point out is very touchy and needs uber stability from the first shot till the last..

Tony & Chelsea Northrup Shots might be improved using an app on tablet pc or smart phone if camera has wi-fi, or non-wired remote, to lessen any movement pressing button to take the picture, even on a heavy tripod perhaps?

The downside is that you have to do this in post processing on your computer. The camera wont put the pictures together. Panasonic and Olympus are able to do this in camera. A huge benefit over the Sony.

Great and useful video! I took away two important and useful things. First pixel shift is just way too much trouble. Second I had better stay away from Sony since I almost always shoot with a 24-70. Thanks Tony!

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. But it also lacks IS, so real life sharpness is severely diminished, even at shutter speed above the reciprocal rule. The Tamron and Sigma designs are again less sharp, than the Sony. So yes Canon has done an outstanding job with their 24-70 II, but i would prefer a lens with IS over it personally.

Remember the Sony 24-70 GM doesn't have IS either, so it's comparable to the Canon in that regard.

Ok I'll say it since ppl are avoiding the elephant in the room, umm this new and improved Sony or the 3 year old Canon 5dsr with more mp which gets sharper images without all the fussing? It's not like the Sony combo is any lighter or smaller.

Sounds like this isn't going to be a very practical option for landscape photographers. Even if you're managing to shoot a scene without any water or foliage movement, you're gonna have to lug a crazy heavy tripod around to compensate for any wind. I think I'll just stick to shooting panoramas.

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.

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!

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.
