R5 ~ IBIS High Resolution: A New Toy

If you shoot with a Canon or not, you may have heard the new Firmware update that using In Body Image Stabilization to take 9 RAW images quickly and process it into one large jpeg.

Meaning Pixel Shift. Take a photo shift the sensor one pixel and take the second, repeat.

Of course this means that IBIS for camera and lens are both disabled. So a tripod is highly recommended to achieve a crisp sharp photo. Perfect something I can throw a wrench into.

Tripod - check
2-Second timer - check
Static landscape - nah

R5 w/ 100-500mm L
f/7.1 ~ 1/160 sec ~ ISO 50 ~ 428mm

The original jpeg file is 24576 x 16384 pixels and 501MB and this version is extremely dumb-down!

Holy S***! Anyway, I think it looks weird. lol Kudos, though on advancing creativity so quickly.

This is so beautiful and very interesting, Dean. I just looked up articles on pixel shift - in-camera and post-processing. This is a new term/technique for me to learn about. As for size - just when you were thinking I sure wish I could take enough pictures to fill up my memory card. Lol! So the original image would print like around 5 feet x 7 feet do you think? Thanks for sharing the information and photo. I enjoyed your post.

Cool shot, I like the effect !

Canon R5 pixel shift is Sony pixel shift on steroids ...

Can't say I've heard of Pixel shifting, I'll have to look that up. It seems to produce an interesting effect - I'd be interested to see more images, and perhaps some outside of the recommended uses.

Thanks for sharing Dean - at 500Mb/image you may have to purchase a few more Tb of storage!
