Page 283: Focus Bracketing
Focus Bracketing Focus bracketing enables continuous shooting with the focal distance changed automatically after each shot. These images enable you to create a single image in focus over a deep depth of field. Compositing is also possible using an application that supports depth compositing, such as Digital Photo Professional (EOS software).
Page 284 Set [Number of shots]. Specify the number of images captured per shot. Can be set in a range of [2]–[999]. Set [Focus increment]. Specify how much to shift the focus. This amount is automatically adjusted to suit the aperture value at the time of shooting. Larger aperture values increase the focus shift and make focus bracketing cover a wider range under the same focus increment and number of shots.
Page 285 Set [Exposure smoothing]. Selecting [Enable] suppresses changes in image brightness during focus bracketing by compensating for differences between the displayed and actual aperture value (effective f-number), which varies by focal position. Select [Disable] if you prefer not to compensate for changes in image brightness during focus bracketing.
