Using Pixel Shift Shooting and AE Bracketing Simultaneously
With camera “C” firmware version 3.00, you can now set [AE bracketing] from [Pixel shift shooting] > [Options]. Pixel shift photography previously required manually changing the exposure for each pixel shift shooting sequence, but now selecting AE bracketing enables automatic capture of high-resolution photos at different exposure levels.
About Pixel Shift Shooting Combined with AE Bracketing
When combining pixel shift shooting with AE bracketing, the camera performs a pixel shift sequence consisting of the set number of shots, with automatically varying exposure levels according to the number of shots specified in the AE bracketing settings. These pixel shift shots can be combined using image editing software for HDR overlay, producing images with both high resolution and extended dynamic range.
Configuring Pixel Shift Shooting and AE Bracketing Combination
Select [AE bracketing] under [Pixel shift shooting] > [Options] in the photo shooting menu to select values for [Number of shots] and [Increment] for exposure bracketing for each pixel shift shooting sequence.
Shooting Fine-Detailed and High-Contrast Subjects
We recommend using auto bracketing together with [Number of shots] set to [4] for pixel shift shooting when photographing subjects, with fine details prone to moiré patterns, such as buildings, in high-contrast lighting conditions. Reducing the number of shots minimizes the required time to complete the shoot while preventing disruptions in image overlay. This allows you to create images with reduced moiré and wider dynamic range.
