But on the other hand, you don't know if you need it if you never try it!The Z6iii has pixel shift, which was a hype when it came on other cameras but now almost nobody talks about it. It may have its advantages but it also has some drawbacks.There are different numbers of pictures you can take where there is a shift of the sensor and in that way get better resolution. What I tested was taking 16 pictures.I started by setting up the camera on a tripod in the open window to photograph a road sign, about 300 m away. The first thing I noticed was that the movement of the air makes the picture "move", so even if you take 16 identical pictures, there will be some shifts already through the air. The second thing I noticed was that the camera is extremely sensitive to the slightest movement during the photographing. Also, if some objects in the picture moves during taking the pictures, the result can show up strange when merged. On the first attempt I forgot to set a delay on the start, which meant that when I pressed the shutter button the result was very bad, due to the camera shaking.The next attempt was made with half of the camera outside the window (to avoid the airflow in the window) and setting a start delay of 5 seconds. I took all pictures with electronic shutter, to avoid any movement.To compile all the pictures, you need to have NX Studio which can be downloaded for free. The 16 images, each about 25 MB, are merged to a 192 MB image and have the extension NEFX. It can then be opened in Lightroom.The images shows a single 24 MB image and the merged image of 192 MB, heavily cropped. In the 24MB image, it is not possible to read any text, which is possible in the merged image. It's even possible to see a bicycle symbol in the merged picture.This may be useful for landscapes and possibly if you want to have very high resolution of an object. The alternative is to take several images that overlap each other and make a panorama. One advantage is that noise is reduced when merging the images.For me, I will probably use it very rarely. Anyone else that has found it useful in some situations?</blockquote>
