original pictures.

32
1

8 Eight merges to generate 8 images from 4 pictures.
When multiple sequences of pictures taken using pixel shift are selected at the same time, it is only
possible to generate a number of images that are available to all selected sequences. For example, if
a sequence of 8 pictures and a sequence of 16 pictures are selected at the same time, only 1 image
can be generated; if a sequence of 8 pictures and a sequence of 32 pictures are selected at the same
time, you can select whether 1 or 2 images will be generated.
Tip: Time Required for Merging
The read/write speed of the hardware greatly affects the processing time of a pixel shift merge. A fast
read/write storage device such as an SSD is recommended.
