    Detail transfer is something you get by shooting at a higher resolution and then downscaling.

    For example a typical 4k camera will produce a 1080p image that looks significantly more detailed than a 1080p (native) camera (there’s a lot of hand waving here about resolution and lenses but let’s just ignore it all for the sake of the question to on ).

    Sort of like how 35mm films transferred to VHS always looked so much sharper with more detail than video shot on VHS-quality equipment.

    There’s a lot to unpack here but hopefully it’s enough to kickstart clarifying what they’re talking about.
