12.8 Focus Bracketing

With Focus Bracketing, a series of images (3, 5 or 9 images) is taken, each with a slight deviation of the focal plane from the original focus. In this way, an image can be taken with several focus variations.

Please note that this function is only available when working with an auto focus lens and when the camera is set to an Auto Focus Mode.

With the Front Control Wheel W1, select the number of images to be taken.

The Focus Bracketing symbol 1 appears in the display.
