Focus Bracketing & Stacking

Focus Stacking Mode is a macro photographer's best friend. It helps you capture multiple images at different focal points, automatically compiling them in-camera for sharp, detailed macro shots with no editing. Need more flexibility? Try Focus Bracketing and combine your images using an external editor.
