I also tried using the focus stacking feature on the Olympus OMD EM1 III. While it's very good, it does have a few limitations-the most notable being a maximum of 15 images per stack. Another drawback is that if there’s even a slight movement of the subject or a minor camera shake, the final merged image won’t process completely. That’s why I switched to the Canon R7, which is impressive for producing even super-macro shots. It offers flexibility with the Focus Increment settings, allowing adjustment from 1 to 10, so you can precisely control how narrowly the focus moves backward if desired.

I use a Canon R7, and what’s remarkable about this camera is its focus stacking capability, allowing up to 999 images in just 10 seconds. The results are absolutely stunning, saved in JPG format, while all captured images are also stored in RAW format. This enables further processing using focus stacking software if needed. The feature has allowed me to produce more macro shots in a very short time and with minimal effort. I find no issues with the final JPG image when processing it with Photoshop. I’ve completely eliminated the need to spend excessive time using focus stacking software

Intressant video 👍 Jag har i många år funderat på att åka till Dovrefjell på vintern, denna video gav mig en del nyttig information Trots att jag har varit där många gånger under sommar och höst så var det svårt att känna igen sig när allt var täckt av snö 😀

Indeed Quick. But, Espen, may I ask why you didn't use the focus stacking feature in OM Workspace?

Great video, Espen! As a user of Helicon Focus myself, I find it easy & intuitive to use both as a stand-alone app and as a Lightroom plugin. Sometimes I do studio stacks with hundreds of images in a stack on a home made 'stacking rail made out of an old microscope focusing block... Splitting the pics up into 'slabs' of around 30 shots, then stacking all the slabs at the end can help a lot with any stray artifacts, retouching, and editing later on. Thanks for the great video's you always post! 👍👏👏

Nice one Espen. I must give this a go one day.

Thanks! As you said, it’s pretty quick so I usually do all three and select the one I prefer...

Thanks, Espen. I tried Helicon when I was using a Nikon D800 (10 -12 years ago). Just getting the captures right was such a pain that I gave up on it. With the new OM cameras (and even the EM - 1 cameras) the capture has become MUCH less of a problem, so I should really get back into macro shooting.

Ive used Helicon in the past but now use Zerene. Cant remember why I changed. All definitely better than PS.

Thank you for this video. I have been meaning to get Helicon and you have inspired me to finally stop procrastinating. I have focus stack photos of a Root Borer Beetle that I stacked in Photoshop and the result was disappointing. Helicon seems like it might be able to handle it. Thank you again 😃

Just the way i would like to take images nice and thoughtful

❤❤❤

❤️❤️❤️

What is the reference of suit you wear in this vedeo?

Some really great tips here that i haven't heard from other creators. I have this lens but have been really struggling to enjoy it because my photos always lack sharpness and punchiness. Definitely going to try all your tips and hoping to start loving this lens!

For en flott video :D

Great video!

Wow ! So wonderful❤

Nice video. Wanted to get that ground pod, but unfortunately his shop does not ship to the U.S. The ball head looks amazing!

Got them selected, but it does not work. Any help?

Definitely a face for behind the camera. 😉

So Electric car !? Now there's a good idea. NOT Virtue signal without a braincells. Superb wildlife opportunities. But the hide camera set up ? Not for me.

dziękuje za niesamowity film , pozdrawiam

Great video, what backpack are you using in this video? thanks,

The whispering on this is so relaxing. I can't wait till I'm as knowledgeable and confident in my gear to get out places like this.

Enjoy 🎉 Protect Wildlife and Nature 🌱

The jealousy is real... lol African wilds are a very hard match - and the Serengeti up at the top of that for tourists Looking forward to seeing more - you're going to be selling prints from that trip for years. Just saying.

I have been to Africa 4 times and am going back in February. I go with Pangolin Photo, may have to give you a shot in the future. The Maasai Mara and the Serengeti are great, but don't overlook SA like Madikwe and Timbavati (Leopards). Avoid Kruger.(paved roads, self drive idiots, and crowds with noisy kids).

Fantastic can't wait to see what you get. 👍

Amazing! ❤

Nice video. What Happened to the Spain video from last year

Great video,hug the San Telmo Buenos Aires!!

Really amazing capture! I love all these features of OM system ! Cheers

Kein crop bei der Bearbeitung ?

Beautiful 🎉 Mother feeding to babies ❤

Its a older video, but thank you for this. I originally wanted to save up for the 300mm f4, but after I tried a vintage 300mm to see if I like the focal length, I realised it's too limiting for my style of shooting which is mostly on the move while hiking. I ordered the 100-400 used for a good price and can't wait for it to arrive. Maybe one day, once I'm a better photographer, I might buy the 300mm f4.

Nice footage and photos.

Great video Espen

Great video Espen- I actually made my own Ground pod

Wow!

What's wrong with a frying pan, that's what Paul Miguel has with a ball head. Would love to join you in March, unfortunately I'm in India to hopefully photograph tigers

Raymond is a cracking photographer, and a very nice guy. Looks like a fantastic workshop.

Interesting review, but spoiled by the missing right audio channel sound at the beginning!

Great to know

Ball head ? Not for wildlife photography

This is very similarly priced to the Flexshooter Pro. Not sure if you have used that, but it does come in a tad lighter at 680g

Great video, love waders. Where do you get the mat from ?

OM-5 looks great, are you doing a lot of massaging the files in post, or are they just pretty snazz out of camera. Also, I was surprised to see you bring a hide for the squirrels and not just a packet of sunflower seeds. 😂

Found the fledge baby! How adorable!

Love your bio work and photography!
