The Oly EM-5 Mark two has a picture taking mode called High Resolution.

It takes eight images and combines then into one. The resultant RAW is 100 mb.

If anyone wants to tinker with one of those RAW files I have put half a dozen on https://we.tl/ANUtn8t9Dw

There are views from the front and back window of our apartment and a picture of a vase of tulips I bought this morning.

I'd be interested in what DFS settings the wizards felt appropriate. I have a job to do in a month's time where high res would come in useful. If anyone takes the trouble to do anything with these files maybe they could put the filters on to WETransfer so we could try them.

Of course the system needs the use of a tripod and it does not tolerate movement. There is a bit of the latter in my shots in certain areas.

Tony,

Thanks for sharing!

The shots are a bit difficult to work with because they are overexposed, but I do have some observations above and beyond that.  I see what Olympus is trying to do, but I don't think it has much real world application.  Olympus is faced with the fact that they need to compete against cameras like the D810 and 5D Mark IV that have 50+ megapixels on a full frame sensor.  They can't cram that many pixels into a small micro four thirds sensor so they give you a way to combine frames to get 64MP.  To me, that's just an advertising claim as that high res mode will only be good for indoor static shots; perhaps you can make use of it in very limited environments like shooting artwork.

So here's my suggestion: don't use that mode when shooting landscape shots or even portraits of people.  Only use it on a tripod indoors, shooting things like model trains, artwork, and the like.  When you use that mode to shoot landscapes, it ruins the depth of field because static objects like buildings will look relatively sharp while tree leaves, water, people walking, etc. will be very blurred in spots.  No amount of DFS will be able to correct for that and the sharpness inconsistency just makes the shot look "weird".

For landscape shots, just shoot in the regular 16MP mode as you'll get much better results than combining 8 frames over a full second to try to "emulate" one 64MP shot.  The E-M5 series is a competent series of cameras without the HR mode and 16MP is more than enough for just about any shot.  People get hung up these days comparing megapixels when 16MP will more than do the job unless you are printing billboards.  Use that HR mode sparingly!

Mike
