G9 High Resolution Mode ► Can You See The Big Picture?
Photo Moment - January 31, 2018
Ever wonder how the “High Resolution Mode” works on cameras like the LUMIX G9 or Olympus EM-5 II? High Res capture on the G9 is an amazing feature that combines 8 separate sensor-shifted exposures into an ultra-high-res 80-megapixel JPEG or RAW photo. The results will blow your mind, and it makes this camera very valuable to a stills-shooter.

Super techie article that explains this with way more brains than I have
What do you think? Is this feature on the G9 what you've been looking for?

Interesting. Have not tried it; I don’t know that the time lapse mode and high res mode could be used simultaneously. But, why would you? Time lapse photos are typically turned into video, and the standard rez photo is way beyond 4K, so what would a super high resolution time-lapse be used for?
Have you tried a hi res time-lapse? Would you need an intervelometer and is each frame consistent?
G 9 ROCKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Photo Joseph !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You test resolution with resolution targets.
very good info subscribed i wonder if Olympus E-M5 II High-Resolution Mode is better
It's quite a deal slower, probably due to an older processor. The Mark III can do 50 Mpx hand-held.
It’s good to go back to this video, PJ this is actually a very good analysis of the HRes covering a good range of what ifs. To this day these Lumix cameras are so under rated, only now are others catching up in many, not all, of the functionality of the G series ( especially the GH5 and G9) cameras. It’ll be interesting to see if the much anticipated GH6 has a 41mp sensor! how as a low light beast it deals with HRes with that res a sensor. I’m sure you’ll be on the ball with that when the GH6 finally arrives. As always thanks and well done Joseph.
Thanks for coming along for the ride!
Hi, is the speed at which it does it's thing determined or can you set slow shutter speeds, say 1/10 or 1/2 s (if you have limited constant lighting for instance)? Thanks.
@@photojoseph No movement, artwork repro for posters. Awesome, thanks!
Yep you can still do long exposures. Of course if there’s any movement, you’re done for, but if it’s a static subject then it’ll work just fine.
Please talk less and much slower, we're not all English fluent 😂 And... where is the Moon shooting? 🤨
8K time lapses of landscapes with clouds passing by possible?
@@photojoseph There's the S1R now. You can always do the timelaps later on a computer, with all the usual flexibility in cropping.
Any photo camera with sensors 30+ megapixels allow 8K time lapse, whether its own software or external intervalometers, the most notorious was the Nikon 50 MP but others came after that. With the G9 it should be done frame by frame manually because either inside the camara or external interv. would not accept but the standard time lapse panasonic allows.
Interesting! I'll file it as a feature request. Do you know if any other manufactures (i.e. Sony, Fuji) who have a high rez mode allow it to be used for time-lapse?
Sunsets, Footage clips for sale, there are some houses that sell 4,6 and 8K, got my 4K in one of them, naturefootage.com
No. And I ask with all sincerity… what would you do with this?
I guess this mode wont work with flash?
Hi dude, I know it is an old video, but I was wondering (specially because you have contacts inside Panasonic) if they could ever release some kind of firmware update for "High Res" mode support for flash/strobe. I cannot see it as a hard to do thing (that can probably be done via software), you basically could just assign each "shot" of the 8 shots to an external trigger, so, you as a human outside, could wait for the flash/strobe to recharge and let the camera fire the next shoot. Did you ever ask something on those lines to Panasonic??? Thanks as always! :D
@@oneeyedphotographer it’s filed as a feature request, as I said I would! Fingers crossed 🤞🏼
@@photojoseph Response?
PhotoJoseph Exactly, but, it could be super cool for product or very controlled macro shots :)
Interesting. It’d only work in a very controlled environment (i.e. studio / still life) where the subject has zero movement, since it could be several seconds between shots. I’ll ask (don’t expect an update here, but I will ask).
so one question if shooitng for example architecture and or landscape will i notice a huge improvemnt in quality when using the high resolution mode? and what about portraits?
I was just wondering how this compares to the new upscaling tech that seems to be able to double or more the resolution of an image using machine learning to fill in the likely details to produce an image?
I read about a few projects late last year on some photography websites but one I have tried is https://letsenhance.io/. It says it does 4x upscaleing and from what I have seen it does a good job. I think from memory the only downsides are that it takes a few hours to for you to get the final image and they were only allowing a few photos at a time but that might have changed. It would be interesting to see this using the first image and upscaled compared to the in camera made version.
Which “new upscaling tech” do you mean? There’s always improvement to the algorithms but is there something specific? Without seeing anything new, I’d say that upscaling can never be as good as something originally created at that resolution. And even if it was indistinguishable to the naked eye, remember that you could take the larger original and bump it up another factor, while the smaller original may be able to double but couldn’t double again.
Thanks for this video PhotoJoseph!
One question. Is the DMW-XLR1 by any chance compatible with the G9?
One question. Is the DMW-XLR1 by any chance compatible with the G9?
Yeah, that’s definitely considered a pro video feature. The G9 is lacking a pin in the hotshoe that the XLR1 needs.
No, sorry. It’s for GH5 and GH5S only.
Love the idea of this for food photos
(Because you need a static subject… not a fast subject… ok I’ll stop now)
As long as it’s not fast food!! 😬😂🙄
I’m definitely starting to lean towards getting the G9 more than the GH5. What I want to see is digiscoping with the G9 through a spotting scope, perhaps one made by Swarovski.
Hey dude, how the high res mode works with speed lights or strobes? Thanks!
1/50 is the maximum speed with the electronic shutter, normal photo mode or hi res mode...:)
PhotoJoseph let me come back to you on this I have definitely used a flash when in high res mode I could have been mistaken and been in mechanical shutter. I will revisit cheers
Really?! That’s interesting. I’ve never heard of a camera that works with electronic shutter and flash. Does the Olympus work with flash for all electronic shutter shooting, or just in high rez mode?
Likewise on my Oly EM1 ii my flash works perfectly as well which is great. Glad you made video by the way there isn't much out there about this feature.
It doesn’t, sorry. It’s electronic shutter (to eliminate blur) and therefore has to be constant light only.
