![]() ![]() In this particular example above, I had the camera take 5 shots in focus shift mode but in post I only ended up needing 3 of them, 2 to focus stack the foreground flowers, and 1 to focus stack the background with the foreground. With a little experience I was able to figure out the settings pretty quickly and get the shots I needed. I tried the Focus Shift feature a few times while I was lucky enough to have a D850 earlier this month for testing on loan from Nikon. For landscape photography this is often a necessary technique when foreground objects are too close to the lens to get both them and the background in focus without using a very high aperture and causing softening due to diffraction. The separate exposures are blended later in software. (Note that this mode can only be used with the built-in shutter speeds of 30 seconds or less.)įocus stacking is a technique used to capture greater depth of field than could be captured in a single image. Then you pick your starting focus point (set focus as you normally would), then when you start the focus shift the D850 will automatically start taking shots, moving the focus between each shot, until it goes through all the shots or until the lens reaches infinity, whichever comes first. The way it works is you pick a number of shots and a step number for how much to move the focus between each shot. This is automatic focus stacking in-camera! Well, almost - you still need to blend the focus stack in software, but this mode will automatically move the focus of the lens between shots. Today I share with you the basics of using Helicon Focus so you can take multiple pictures that are in focus and then merge them together so you have a sharp. Next to the new 45.7 MP backlit sensor, my favorite new feature of the Nikon D850 is the Focus Shift mode. ![]()
