Fujifilm Adds Pixel Shift Multi-Shot to GFX100, Enabling 400 MP Capture - PetaPixel

Fujifilm has announced a firmware update the brings pixel shift multi-shot functionality to the GFX100.

The feature works by combining the 102-megapixel sensor, the X Processor 4, and the in-body image stabilization system to move the image sensor in 0.5 pixel increments and record high-resolution RGB pixel information over the course of a 16 image capture.

Fujifilm’s new software is called Pixel Shift Combiner and not only acts as the necessary piece of the puzzle to create the large images, but it also can be used to facilitate capture capability when using Pixel Shift Multi-Shot.

With this new feature, Fujifilm says that images can be created that “faithfully reproduce nearly every detail” and “achieve optimal image quality with 400 megapixels of resolution.”.

Without using the Pixel Shift Multi-Shot, a 100% crop would provide this level of detail:.

In addition to the Pixel Shift Multi-Shot feature, Fujifilm made a few other changes to the GFX100 in Firmware Version 3.00
