Tip: When the Merged Image Is Partially Disrupted
If the camera, the subjects, or the light source moves during a pixel shift shooting, the merged image
may be partially disrupted. The following figure shows how 32 pictures are merged into a single image.

If a merge includes pictures disrupted, the resulting image will be partially disrupted.

In these cases, we recommend changing the number of merged images to be generated. Increasing
the number of generated images may change the image quality of the merged image, but the merged
image can be generated with pictures that do not include the cause of the disruption. Set the number
of generated images with [Merge mode] in NX Studio when performing a pixel shift merge. The
number of generated images can only be selected if 32, 16, or 8 was selected for [Pixel shift shooting]
> [Number of shots] in the photo shooting menu. The relationship between each picture taken with
number of shots set to 32 and the resulting merged images is as follows:
