Pixel Shift Multi Shooting
You can create images with a higher resolution than is possible with regular shooting by recording
four RAW images and then combining them on a computer. This is helpful when shooting still
subjects such as works of art or architecture.
How to tag the location information on the images
You can record the location information on the images. The location information can be acquired via
a smartphone.
