2 Adjust focus shift settings.
Adjust focus shift settings as described below.
• To choose the number of shots:
We recommend taking more shots than you think you’ll
need and winnowing them down during focus stacking.
More than 100 shots may be required for photographs of
insects or other small objects, while only a few are needed
to photograph a landscape from front to back with a wide-
angle lens.
• To choose the amount the focus distance changes with each shot:
A value of 5 or less is recommended, as higher settings
increase the risk that some areas will be out of focus when
the shots are stacked. Try experimenting with different
settings before shooting.

press 2.
Choose the number of shots

Highlight Focus step width and
press 2.
Press 4 to reduce the focus step
width, 2 to increase. Press J to
