Hello All,
Here are some images from some test shots from today, made in an attempt to get a feel for the extent of noise reduction resulting from shooting in Pixel Shift mode.
Images shot with Pentax K-3 II
First shot (3870) f3.5, 1/13s, ISO 200
Second shot (3871) f3.5, 1/50s, ISO 800
Third shot (PS_normal_out) f3.5, 1/50s, ISO 800

I have selected a small portion of the shot that best visually shows differences in image quality due to noise, and taken a screen shot of all three images at pretty much the same magnification. The above images are in order left to right.

Not the most scientific process, but might help.

Cheers,
Terry
