The Single-Shot vs Multi-Shot High-Res Mode2 Motion Correction page looked at image quality using Motion Blur Processing = MODE2, showing excellent results, as did Multi-Shot High-Res MODE1 vs MODE2 with Moving Subject Matter.

This page shows that even using Mode2 for Panasonic S1R Multi-Shot High-Res mode, moving water can generate intolerable artifacts of at least two kinds: (1) patchy areas that show abrupt discontinuation from other areas, and (2) pixellation.
