FOCUS BRACKETING
Focus Bracketing can be used for different purposes. The

images with different focus positions together in post-produc-
tion. You can also use it to pick the best image from a batch.
In Focus Bracketing mode, the camera will automatically
take a pre-set number of images and calculate focus shift
between each capture. The images will be stored on the card

party software (e.g. Helicon Focus™) to merge them together

use, but look at the examples in this section as a starting point
for your own experiments.
The camera offers three different modes in which the images
will be taken.
1
Towards Innity
Set focus manually or by using AF. If AF is used, remember
to deactivate it before starting the sequence. In this
mode, focus should be set on a point (
A
) that is closer to
the camera than the main subject. When the sequence

2
Symmetric
In this mode, focus should be set on the main subject (
B
).

limit and take all the images in the sequence, shifting focus

to ensure that there is one image of the main subject with
perfect focus.
3
Towards Near Limit
Set focus on a point (
C
) behind the main subject. During
the sequence, the camera will shift focus closer and closer
to the camera. The sequence will stop after the pre-set
number of images has been captured or the lens has
reached near limit.
