Combining Hi-Resolution mode with stitching, stacking or multiple exposures (manually)

[arsenal74]

I asked this same question over in the L mount forum but curious for the input from M43 users...

I have been impressed so far with what I have seen from the high resolution mode but am curious as to whether there are any complications if you were to combine it with focus stacking or multiple exposures? Manually of course as you cannot use in camera bracketing with high resolution mode on, but to just fire off 2 or maybe 3 high-resolution shots back to back and then combine them later.

Whether it is worth doing is another question but if would be a nice option, but maybe some complications with the whole sensory shift thing?

I have done a few of stitching of hi res shots. I think it is excessive for a panorama because the non hi res is just as good due to the number of final pixel output. Sure you would wind up with a stunning 120 mp panorama that can only be appreciated if you zoom in close. Practically, who does it? You also need high power computer.

Only just got the camera 5 min ago, it's now charging, so I can't speak for the m43 (OM-1 II, in my case), but my phone does really great job stitching for panorama and its ultra wide angles, so are cameras really that much better for panorama specifically?

Do not get me wrong, super res (MFNR) is useful and one of the main reasons I now switched to m43. In fact, all computational photography is great, this is why phones do so well with tiny sensors. But panorama specifically is done so well on smartphones, and my phone has a 100 mp sensor, so I guess the panorama is pretty awesome for this reason. I do not need anything besides my phone for pano's.

There are world of differences between phone high res and real camera high res. I say this because I have the S22 Ultra that can shoot at 108 mp resolution. The reality is the S22 108 mp image can not even matches to 20 mp camera's image.

Agree, I have the S21, by the way, so a very similar phone.

The megapixel figure often quoted in phone specs is very misleading. See https://www.gsmarena.com/quad_bayer_sensors_explained-news-37459.php

I agree that the performance of smartphones can be astonishing, but I don't like the way the files often come out, on close inspection. Fine for display on a screen or on social media.

Combining hi-resolution with stitching sounds like overkill to me. You would need a lot of processing power and storage, and I can't imagine what final use would demand that kind of resolution.

Makes sense, my phone's 104 MP is not anywhere as detailed as my 43 MP FF images, so it makes sense it's all a marketing stunt.
