  Shooting still pictures in a higher resolution  (High Res Shot)
Shoot at resolutions higher than that of the image sensor. The camera takes a series 
of shots while moving the image sensor and combines them to create a single high-
resolution photo. Use this option to capture details that normally would not be visible 
even at high zoom ratios.
Use the [High Res Shot] option (P. 158) in X Shooting Menu 2 to choose time 
between the shutter button being pressed all the way down and the shutter being 
released, the time allocated for the fl ash to charge when a fl ash is used in High Res 
Shot mode, and the shooting style (tripod-mounted or hand-held).
When High Res Shot is enabled, the image quality mode for High Res Shot can be 
selected using [KK] (P. 100, 142).
