Originally posted by Oakland Rob I think Fenwoodian's point was about pixel shift resolution and motion correction in the original K-1. And if I recall correctly in that camera's hype they were only ever talking about motion correctin in PSR images taken on a tripod, not something as shaky as hand held. So it's not made up; the quote he does supply from Pentax is clearly referring to MC on PSR. The K-1ii's handheld stuff is, as you note, different.
But those of us who've done stacking manually or semi-auto in post processing software know that deghosting and other problems can limit its effectiveness, even when we can do some manual motion correction. Expecting an automatic process in the camera to always nail it is optimistic. Although I have been surprised at times; my E-M5ii focus stacks pretty well in camera, although larger movement or light changes can befuddle it (wish we had that in Pentaxes).
Fenwoodian specifically said he did not believe Pentax’s claim on hand held Pixel Shift. He used their claim about K-1 PixelShift as justification to disbelieve them this time.
I pointed out they made no such claim this time; it is not Pixel Shift; and their expert Tester states on Pentax’s own K-1II website works only 75% of the time.
I don’t understand your argument with me. Fenwoodian is a nice guy, but his expectations aren’t correct. He’s mistaken about the technology process, the name of the technology, the Pentax claim of what it does, and the efficacy of Real Resolution (through no fault of his own, I suppose).
