Nikon D850 Focus Stacking Explained - Viilage Review

[@LusoCMD]

You explanations are edge to edge sharp as a razor, no staking needed, Sir. Kudos to you and thanks

[@hrishibarne9663]

I've seen almost all of your videos and all of them are on very solid topics that often a lot of photographers get confused in and we're very grateful for that. There's one more topic about which there's a very less and incomplete information on the internet 'advantages of cross type focus points and normal focus points and how to use them'. Please consider this as a request from all the photo enthusiasts like me.

[@Stellifant]

Thank you so much. I have been a photographer for 30 years and I never came across focus stacking before. Brilliantly explained. Again, many thanks

[@Rodrigo_xt8c2]

Your videos are so well-explained without any extraneous distraction. Well done, keep up the good work!

[@cactustweeter2890]

Definitely a thumbs up. You did a nice job explaining what focus stacking is and how to utilize the focus shift feature of the Nikon D850. Thank you.

[@DinoA87]

Sir your voice is very clear and captivating. Of course lessons are too valuable.

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

Harsimran Singh (Dino) Thank you Dino... 🙏 😊

[@moggridge1]

Your explanations are always crystal clear and enjoyable, thank you.

[@shaneksmith1957]

I completed my first three focus stacks with your direction with no problems. Adobe wouldn't save a .psd because it said I was over 2gb. Now I need a lesson on focus stacking objects left to right across compared to back to front. Thank you.

[@donnawinters1102]

Thank you for a very clear and informative tutorial. I just got my 850 and still learning all of the new features and this was very helpful.

[@Chuck_Burke]

Aloha Noble Sir....you are my hero....Thank you so much for the time you put into your tutorial and review videos.

[@Girijeshv]

[@waynebarsky4441]

What an outstanding tutorial. Clear as day. Thanks so much.

[@123raheem123i]

I ALWAYS LISTENING THROUGH MY HEART THANKS SIR FOR YOUR VALUABLE LESSONS EXPECTING MORE FROM PIXEL VILLAGE

[@terencedebruycker3840]

Good morning Rad - Excellent presentation ! I am another new D850 owner (although a > 40 year Nikon user) and any tutorial presentation other than the owners manual is absolutely essential. Your videos fit the bill perfectly. Now if you would only redo the complete owners manual in your distinct / professional style would be terrific. Just kidding. All the best yo you and yours. Terry

[@reoflex]

Very helpful and professionally presented. Thank you!

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

Rob O 🙏🙏🙏

[@AhsanStudios]

Thankyou for this great tutorial...wanted to ask how could we know how many shots we need to get in order to have full product in focus from edge t edge ?

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

Hi Ashan... It depends on the length (size) of the product and the working Aperture. Do a quick test using JPEG to figure out before doing the final shots in RAW. Cheers...

[@Gaurav_Prakash]

Thamk you Sir for the detailed tutorial. It is indeed a great built in feature compared to the previous tedious method which has a chance of camera shake during the manual focus bracketing!! 😊🤓

[@TachTube]

Thank you. The best tutorial.

[@drbsrhortho]

Excellent teaching

[@CJamesPhoto]

Wow what a well explained tutorial! definitely beats mine 🙊... Thanks for sharing!

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

[@ismail_ac]

Very usefully and thumbs up for you. Hope long exposure techniques and more... thank you so much sir.

[@adithyadivakar2425]

I liked this video , but if I may ask you to show other ways of focus stacking, primarily because I'm guessing not everyone has a high end DSLR with this option built in. I realize that this video says D850 Focus Stacking , but a lot more people will definitely appreciate the more "hands-on" way to do this. Thanks!!!

[@rehanametawala6619]

[@gidesp1]

Merci beaucoup. Beau tutorial.

[@Irene-rn3jb]

Thank you for review, it is very helpfull. ( I have pressed the red button ...) Howmuch is the strength of your flash for this distance you used in this film ? You used only one flash? Thank you so much for your reaction, kind rergards, Irene

[@ganeshachari3288]

awesome video feeling like I was in the class

[@hafeezrajudin2549]

Superb demonstration, thank you very much.

[@MrRooster1968]

[@abhijit9073]

That sharpness! 😯!

[@roblawrence3325]

Excellent description. thanks

[@SasidharGB]

Wonderful explanation of focus stacking. I would like to request if you can please explain Highlight Weighted Metering and how to use it using a D850/D810 or even a Z7 in one of your future video lessons. Thank You !

[@arvindmudaliar6641]

Could you please give detailed review about Nikon D5300. It's an request please.

[@ritheshrajeev5585]

Its really interesting and helpful.Sir i wish to watch a tutorial on the impact of lighting from different angles and positions on a stationary object,will wait for it.Keep going really good.

[@nonsapvisuals]

top notch quality videos! thanks for the content!

[@RPMStudios369]

Nice! Explained well, main points of the features.

[@ChaconPhoto]

Nice video! I would love for Nikon to update the firmware to be able to do this while tethered, I'd also like to be able to turn on the live view white tethered to check focus from the camera when manually focusing, I know i can put the camera in live view through the computer in CaptureOne but sometimes the screen is 10ft away. I noticed i can do this on the 5dsr at the studio i work for, but not the d800/850

[@rizwan26]

Amazing one Sir Ji.. you made it look so simple.. 🙏🏼 can you please post some tips and tricks for mid range camera like Nikon D7000 😊

[@aaz148a]

Thanks for the video but if I may, I have one point to consider: the focusing you did manually on live mode would not hold since immediately thereafter you switch to autofocus, thereby giving the camera control over the focusing from the first shot to the last. Otherwise excellent explanation and thanks again.

[@hameedahmed7263]

Very informative

[@Ughwhatevs]

Was this video shot on the 850 as well? It is beautiful

[@ravinderdang]

Great Tutorial

[@johngiannini697]

Every informative and well explained thanks.

[@wildlifeofpakistanwithrashid]

Big Fan of you, i watched all your videos and i learned so many new things and techniques from your videos speacially mobile photography tips were very useful for me,hope one day i will buy a canon 600d camera or any other camera that is my dream... Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰💓 stay blessed...

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

Thank you very much Rashid... Happy to know that. And thanks again for your wishes and kind words. 🙏🙏🙏😊

[@Mr727db]

Great tutorial.

[@jaguarjj]

The only downside of doing the focus stacking using the camera's built in function that it doesn't allow you to specify the first and last focus points as does a software like Helicon remote for example.

[@zorik79]

Thank You Very much!

[@amycrist2851]

Since posting this video in 2017, has there been an update to allow this process while shooting tethered? Many thanks, excellent video!

[@hakamsoufan]

Great work .. thank you

[@zahedonline]

Wow really great, if i'm not wrong we can also use this Technic on Landscape photography as well right?

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

Zak Zak Absolutely Zak... Cheers... 👍

[@shahabasali6132]

Sir if you take a vedio & give advicefor armatures who looking photographing as professional 8t very help full..and history of your photography life (your career starting and others will verry help full .

[@Chuck_Burke]

As always, I appreciate the time and quality of your videos. Thank you. I do have a question however. Does the focus shift happen left to right or top to bottom, and is there a way to control that? Thank you again

[@parasphotographyfilms]

Nicely explained..! Just a question Can D850 stand better against Sony FS5 in terms of Video? Its off topic but if you know as I don't like idea of paying 5K+ and having "Super 35" ( To me its a Crop Sensor ) smaller than D810/D850? Any thoughts?

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

Paras Photography Hi Paras... Thanks for commenting. Cinematography using a DSLR was always an add-on feature and may not become as good as a Digital Cinema/Video camera. Many reasons. FS5 will enable you to do video way easier and better than any DSLR. Now that being the reality, D850 has, by far the best Video capability among the current DSLRs. 🙏😊

[@c.douglaslyon9949]

Thank you, very well done.

[@markshirley01]

Hi what is the touch focus in live view like in video. I just need it to obtain a focus point efficiently and fast.

[@franklynjeyaraj1034]

Sir plz review the Sony alpha a58

[@itssauravhere]

just loved the explanation sir.. just one question if possible please do reply... Q. what is that value of "Focus width" do. Does this supersedes the aperture settings and widens the area of focus in the frame... It will be great to hear from you.. @Pixel Village

[@moshe6501]

Can I suggest a video comparing old camera models (5D and D700 for instance) with new ones using same set of pro lens?

[@antiposer016]

@ 6:28 I noticed around the mouth of the bottle some blurring that wasn't uniform to the background... is this a photoshop option?

[@davidsussman2546]

love you detail explanation the only missing fact is selecting the distance between shots is unclear. Seems that Nikon makes this guesswork?

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

Sorry if I was not clear. Blame it on my language. The Nikon menu has all parameters very clearly marked :-)

[@BrianWarkentine]

Agreed. The camera can calculate depth and with a start and end focus point it could do the rest automatically.

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

Brian Warkentine That's right.

[@hitendrasinhmahida5608]

Please do review on Nikon D810

[@GUERRO06]

great video sir!!! can focus stacking be developed in lightroom 6??

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

I don't think so. LR is a RAW developing and grading software, and it does just that. You will need 'PS' or other softwares like 'Helicon Focus' to achieve Stacking. Cheers...

[@GUERRO06]

ok.. thank you...great video!!!

[@salimansari7393]

Very nice sir ji

[@photocraftsunil]

Hi Sir, this is SUNIL KUMAR. It is very good tutorial. sir can you tell me camera should be on autofocus mode and what F number is the best .

[@StanFry]

Was your first focus point the thing closest or furthest away? Nice video by the way.

[@Stellifant]

Please explain the focusing: do you manually set the focus between shots or is it done automatically? When you set the camera focus from 1-10 (you set it to 3), what is being set? Is it the number of shots you think you need to get everything in focus from front to back? Thanks again

[@sarathb1671]

Being out of tipic,plz do suggest a camera for a starter with basic knowledge in photography . Thanking in anticipation.

[@allametlr]

As always very interesting topic, an observation which now leads me to a question apart from your topic. I noted you have a godox trigger there. I have the x2t godox trigger. Is there a possibility of using the SB 700 flash on the trigger where another flash or two is being used and is being trigger by the x2t. Can this be accomplish in TTL mode?

[@NORTRONGAMES]

The toughest part is using it in uncontrolled landscape situation. For landscape photographers like me this is a hectic job. You could make a video specifically for landscapes

[@sakthiramasamy96]

Super your addressing your photograph triks

[@hemantkadam6200]

Sir..... I recently bought a nikon D750..... Will u please give me your review on D750

[@bojohnsson4215]

Good tutorial, thanks! I understand you must use a Nikon autofocus lens to use this D850 stacking function. Are there any way to use the function together with non-autofocus lenses? I myself use the Zeiss Macro-Planar 100/2 XF2 and the Zeiss Milvus 50/2 Macro ZF2, both are manual focus lenses - I guess it in my situation isn't possible to benefit from the stacking function of the camera. The D850 is an impressive power house, I'm very happy with mine.

[@ST-rw9op]

That was very useful i would like know the list of apps on your Mac which you uses for editing pictures and adjustment apart from lightroom and adobe photoshop.

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

#ST 9 Thank you for your feedback. We use CaptureOne Pro from Phase One for RAW processing. 🙏 😊

[@ST-rw9op]

PIXEL VIILAGE thanks alot for being so much responsive on my queries..

[@srini196812]

PIXEL VIILAGE great to know that you use capture one pro...even I shifted from Lightroom .. Although very happy with capture one pro was still having doubts as to whether I took the right decision but now seeing you using it I think my decision was right

[@ozzieciliberti1626]

Excellent presentation.....being new to focus stacking, how does the camera know at where is the end of the shot .... for example if I focus on the closest point at 1 foot and the the end of the product group is at 3 feet (as opposed to 6 feet ) how do you determine number of shots.... is it by trial and error or is there a formula

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

Yes. This will involve a bit of trial and practice to predict number of shots and distance setting.

[@Prism_of_hari]

Can i get this option in canon...

[@barrybenteman2119]

were you shooting jpeg or raw in this vide? thank you.

[@mohapatrababu]

Hello, can you please share some information on remote trigger for flash photography? Any brand you prefer? Thanks, Arvind

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

Arvind Mohapatra Nikon makes very good camera flashes. But if you are looking for Studio Flashes, Godox Flashes and Godox X1/X1 Pro triggers will work very well. 🙏 😊

[@manoofkareem6500]

Frankley thanks for this well explained tutorial.bcos focs stacking one of the best feature in Nikon D850. Whether we using the camera on stacking mode we can connect live into PC is it possible for the perfect view of pictures

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

Manoof kareem Interesting. Never tried. It will show a Live preview but may not let you work on the images like a RAW capture software. At best you might be able to play back and watch. Let me try it anyway 😊🙏

[@manoofkareem6500]

I hop it's will shown on nxt preview.. the oly way is able to play back Nd watch .it didn't work on images like raw capture software I thought it possible anyway good answer for this

[@davidcohen6134]

good video enjoy and learn

[@NileshFataniya]

thank you sir

[@Shaury_Bhardwaj]

Sir can we use this feature for portrait photography as well ??

[@sumanbandyopadhyay5246]

Which lens did you use for this shot? Macro? Focal length?

[@galtidea]

Sir, fantastic educational video. Appreciate the effort. Question: How fast can the 'stacking' feature go? If I have a group of people (standing relatively still) can the process go quickly, like bracketing? I know there's an option for "zero" time delay between shots, so if it's bright, theoretically, it should go very quickly...yes? Thanks very much. G

[@wassyg7130]

does the Mirror have to be engaged ? Nikon d850 35 mm lens, im assuming the Lens also has to be in M/A , as well as the the auto mode on camera body

[@shaneksmith1957]

Thank You!

[@meghlamehgla]

Thanks for the video... How do we stack for a landscape where you have to cover quite wide area..

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

Exactly the same way. Start stacking from the nearest point and end in infinity. Use Photoshop to composite and you will have an extremely detailed landscape image. 🙏👍

[@ranjankmsphotography]

Sir is it essential to use a Tripod for taking multiple shots during focus stacking/ shifting function with Nikon D 850?

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

Ranjan Kumar Mandal Absolutely necessary. 🙏 😊

[@ranjankmsphotography]

Thanks PV. It would be really helpful if the Focus Stacking process is also explained by a brief video tutorial.

[@abhijitmahajani9285]

How Can I use it while shooting a Panorama? Can it be used? If yes, How?
