Fig. 12 / 14 Focus Bracketing
Focus Bracketing is only possible with AF or AFD-lenses.
With focus bracketing, you can take a series of images where the focal plane is shifted
from the centre of the depth of field of the basis shot 1 to the borders and beyond.
The step sizes of the deviations of the focal plane depend on the selected aperture, and
are set automatically by the system. The step size can also depend on the lens type that is
used.
When 3-shot mode is selected, the plane of focus is shifted to the rear edge of the depth
of field of the basis shot (image 1); in this way, the rear edge of the basis shot forms the
center of the depth of field (images 2).
When 5-, 7- or 9-shot mode is selected, the plane of focus is shifted outside of the depth
of field of the basis shot (images 3).
When focus bracketing is started, the optical assembly moves to the most distant point in
the focus bracketing and starts capturing the image series. The last capture in the series is
the one with the focal plane the closest to the lens. The lens is shifted in equal distances
