p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Olympus Om-D E-M1 actually giving 18,3mp files? | |
This is weird and it's something that's been bugging me since I switched to Capture One Pro instead of Lightroom.
Most of the time when I open a RAW in C1 I find out that it is already cropped. Or rather, I see that pretty much every file I have imported are pre-cropped. At fist it was just annoying and I re-cropped them.
I started thinking more about it today after a quick test with an ND filter. I saw the same thing, the photo was cropped so I removed all borders/restraints and re-cropped it to it's full potential and to my surprise I saw that there were things in the photo that I had not included in the viewfinder.
So it got me thinking, what if Olympus sensor is actually bigger but it only, normally, gives you 16mp with the crop that we normally use? I exported one photo, first in the pre-cropped version, which means the way the file is loaded in to C1. Next I exported it after removing all restraints from the crop.
I then checked the files and their pixel count and this is what I got.
The pre-cropped file was 4608x3456 pixels which is 15,925,248 pixels, which is close enough to 16mp that Olympus says.
The other file, which I re-cropped to it's full potential, was 5027x3658 which is actually 18,388,766 pixel so all inte all around 18,3mp.
What's more interesting is that I not only get more MP from that file but I also get more coverage from the same lens setting.
I forgot to grab a screen from C1 but I will post tomorrow and show what it looks like on import.
Meanwhile, these are the two files. Nothing edited or done to them, I just picked two files for testing purpose.
Anyone noticed this before? I've never seen the bigger type of file in Lightroom for example.
