Fujifilm GFX100 II: 4-Shot Pixel Shift vs Single-Frame (Flag Shed)
A 4-shot pixel shift mode a la Sony appeared with the Fujifilm GFX100 II. As this page was written, Fujifilm had not issued any firmware update(s) to bring that feature to sibling cameras like the Fujifilm GFX100S/100. Users of those camera are obliged to engage 16-shot mode, record 16 frames, and then use 4 of those frames to achieve 4-shot result. This is a crap design, but Fujifilm has not even issued a statement on the matter, let alone issued a firmware update (as this was written).
The numerous workflow headaches with Fujifilm Pixel Shift Combiner will be noted in passing here, but for the full summary, follow that link.
