My Panasonic Lumix G9 can shoot 60 fps with single autofocus or 20 fps with continuous, also with preburst mode. It can also create an 80mp image by using pixel shift.

Back in the day when photographers knew what they were doing they only needed ONE exposure to get it right.

My iPhone can do that with its Live Mode. Not at those resolutions but the technology is similar.

Are you stating that the Sony a7rIV has this same feature?

It is neat to see the sensor shift imaging that Olympus developed moving into other cameras now. One needs big chips for the 240mp shots if they do a lot.

Yes and no. Yes, the best photographers developed a great sense of timing along with their intimate experiences of the camera's timing to produce many of the great shots. But I also know that they missed many shots because I know even the best photographer is not "on target" 100% of the time. How many more great shots would we have had with a digital Pro Capture mode back then? And, in fact, it was for that very fact that motor drives of 10 and 15 frames per second were developed. I can still hear my teacher telling me about pros "burning" through the film to get the shots with their cameras at full blast motordrive. They even made bulk film backs for cameras back then so one wasn't changing out film ever 36 shots. They didn't want to miss the "moment" while changing film in one of their cameras. So their "only needed ONE exposure to get it right" wasn't always true.

They have sensor shift, but I do not think they have Pro Capture. Sensor shift could be be put in any digital camera. Pro Capture is really only for mirrorless. It could be put in DSLRs, but that would mean that the mirror would be flapping around until one finally pressed the shutter. That would be a lot more wear and tear on the mirror and shutter that was not designed into the original design. And the Pro Capture in a DSLR would be limited to the max frames per second of the motordrive.

Your hearing about the Sony A7R4. It has a 61MPx sensor, can shoot at 10 frames/sec and can buffer up to 30 raw images. It has a resolution of 640 MPX in the pixels shift mode.

Sorry, 240MPx

Thaz a good overview of that function.

The Lumix G-9 also does that, at 60FPS
and 18MP rez. It's actually 6K video that
runs all the time [when in that mode] but
it only records the previous 30 frames in
a continuously recording, self-emptying
short term buffer. When you press the
shutter release, it stops deleting the most
recent 30 frames [before button pushing]
and additionally will record the next 30
frames [after button pushing].

Altho no lengthy [large] video files are
recorded, the continuous video imaging
feeding into the 30 frame buffer is rather
battery hungry. IOW, if you leave it on
thru a whole sporting event, carry plenty
of extra batteries. I don't know, but it's
reasonable to suspect that really lengthy
continuous use might trigger a protective
thermal shut down in hot environments.

There are other cameras that have this
feature altho the number of "pre-release"
frames, and the burst rates, will vary. It
is just a new way to benefit from existing
video-frame-grabber methods, so AFAIK
it is not limited by patents ... so that if
it is well received, it should proliferate.

As to other cameras, some less costly
[vs G-9] have a similar ability, altho at
4K rather than 6K, so the stills are 8MP
rather than 18MP.
