The main image above was created using the Olympus focus bracketing feature found on recent Olympus cameras. There is also a similar feature on recent Panasonic cameras. This feature really speeds up and simplifies the image capture process of focus stacking.

Watch the video below to find out how

The images below provide a summary of what is described in the video.

Check the menu settings

Compose your subject and set your initial focus point

Start the stack

Watch the changing focus point

Stop the stack

In this example I had 191 separate images which were imported into Capture One

I whittled them down to 94 images covering the range I wanted and then exported
them to Zerene Stacker

Here is Zerene Stacker doing its magic

The stacked image is then passed back to Capture One for some final editing to produce the final result
