PIXEL SHIFT MULTI SHOT
The camera takes a series of 16 shots, using in-body image stabilization to move the image sensor by half a pixel with eachshot and recording each frame in RAW format. Using specialized
computer software, the frames can then be combined to create ahigh-resolution RAW picture.

1 Rotate the DRIVE mode dial to MULTI.
2 Press the DRIVE button to view drive mode options.
3 Select PIXEL SHIFT MULTI SHOT and choose a value for
INTERVAL.
• We recommend setting INTERVAL to SHORTEST.
• If you intend to use the flash with every shot, choose a value for INTERVAL long enough to allow the flash to charge
between shots.

4 Press the shutter button to start shooting.

• The shots are recorded to the memory card in RAW format.
• To minimize vibration, use the self-timer or a remote release.

5 Combine the shots on a computer.

• The shots can be combined using FUJIFILM Pixel Shift Combiner.
• To save high-resolution RAW pictures in other formats, use
Capture One Express Fujifilm, Capture One Pro Fujifilm, orCapture One Pro, available from Capture One A/S. FUJIFILM
X RAW STUDIO and RAW FILE CONVERTER EX powered by
SILKYPIX cannot be used for this purpose.

https://www.captureone.com/explore-features• Pixel-shift multi-shot photography can be performed via tetheredshooting. For this purpose, use FUJIFILM Pixel Shift Combiner.

• The flash will synchronize with the shutter at shutter speeds of 1⁄5 s or
slower (14-bit RAW) or ½.5 s or slower (16-bit RAW).

• The following limitations apply to the use of the pixel-shift multi-shot
option:- Pixel-shift multi-shot photography can only be performed using the electronic shutter.

- Sensitivity is restricted to a maximum of ISO 1600. Choosing higher values

or a setting of AUTO results in a sensitivity of ISO 1600, while lower values
remain unchanged.
- The only option available for RAW RECORDING > RECORDING TYPE is
LOSSLESS.
- Pictures taken with C (AF-C) selected for focus mode will be shot in focus
mode S (AF-S). Pictures taken with A (AF-S) or M (manual) selected are shotin the chosen focus mode.
- If the subject or camera moves during shooting, the desired results may
not be achieved when the shots are combined.
- A SHOOTING SETTING > FLICKER REDUCTION is automatically set to OFF.
- The value selected for exposure compensation applies to all 16 shots.

RAW RECORDING
Choose whether to compress RAW images.

RECORDING TYPE
OptionUNCOMPRESSEDLOSSLESSCOMPRESSED

Description
RAW images are not compressed.
RAW images are compressed using a reversible algorithm
that reduces ﬁle size with no loss of image data. The images can be viewed in Capture One Express Fujiﬁlm, RAW
FILE CONVERTER EX powered by SILKYPIX, FUJIFILM X RAWSTUDIO, or other software that supports “lossless” RAW
compression. Quality is the same as UNCOMPRESSED,
but the resulting ﬁles are anywhere from about 30 to 90
percent (14-bit RAW) or 45 to 100 percent (16-bit RAW) of
their uncompressed size.
RAW images are compressed using a “lossy”, non-reversible
algorithm. Quality is about the same as UNCOMPRESSED,
but the resulting ﬁles are anywhere from about 25 to 35 percent (14-bit RAW) or 30 to 40 percent (16-bit RAW) of theiruncompressed size.
