Using the Dual Pixel RAW Optimizer
By setting the Dual Pixel RAW function on the camera compatible with
the function before shooting RAW images, images are recorded as
“special RAW images (Dual Pixel RAW images)” with dual pixel
information appended from the imaging sensor. This is called Dual Pixel
RAW shooting. Using this function, the [Dual Pixel RAW Optimizer], with
Dual Pixel RAW images, you can make use of the Dual Pixel data
recorded with the Dual Pixel RAW image for microadjustment of the
position of maximum sharpness and resolution using the depth
information contained within the file, repositioning the viewpoint or
foreground bokeh for a more pleasing result, and reducing the
appearance of ghosting in images.
Cautions for Dual Pixel RAW shooting
Note the following when shooting in Dual Pixel RAW.
 Common to all functions
• Effects are most easily gained when the lens aperture value is
f/5.6 or lower.
• Effects may be different between shooting in vertical orientation
and horizontal orientation.
• It is recommended that the ISO speed be ISO 1600 or lower.
 Only for “Microadjustment of the position of maximum sharpness
and resolution using the depth information contained within the
Dual Pixel RAW file”
• It is recommended that the lens focal length be at least 50 mm.
• It is recommended that this function be used when the camera
is at a distance from the subject.*
* Use the following as a guide to subject distances according to
focal length.
When the lens focal length is 50 mm, the subject distance
should be approx. 1 m - 10 m / 3.3 ft. - 32.8 ft.
When the lens focal length is 100 mm, the subject distance
should be approx. 2 m - 20 m / 6.6 ft. - 65.6 ft.
When the lens focal length is 200 mm, the subject distance
should be approx. 4 m - 40 m / 13.1 ft. - 131.2 ft.
