3 Start shooting.
Highlight Start and press J.
Shooting starts after about 3s. The
display turns off and the camera takes
photographs at the selected interval,
starting at the focus distance selected
at the start of shooting and progressing out toward infinity
by the selected focus step distance with each shot. Shooting
ends when the selected number of shots has been taken or
focus reaches infinity. To end shooting before all shots have
been taken, select Off for Focus shift shooting in the photo
shooting menu or press the shutter-release button halfway or
press the J button between shots.
D Aperture
To prevent the loss of definition that can occur at smaller apertures,
choose an aperture with an f-number lower than f/11–f/8.
D During Shooting
During focus shift photography, the release mode indicator in the
control panel will turn off and the memory card access lamp will flash.
Regardless of the option selected for Custom Setting c3 (Power off
delay) > Standby timer, the standby timer will not expire during
shooting. Note that changing camera settings while focus shift
photography is in progress may cause shooting to end. Shooting will
end if focus is adjusted during shooting.
D Peaking Stack Image
During playback, a p icon appears on photographs shot with Create
selected for Peaking stack image, indicating that a focus stack
preview can be displayed by pressing the i button and selecting
Display peaking stack image. The areas displayed in white will be in
focus when the pictures are stacked. Focus stack previews can only be
viewed on the camera used to create them.
