Before anyone asks "why is there no Focus Stacking in my camera?" or "why is the focus stacking icon greyed out?", please see the full compatibility list here 8:20 If your camera or lens is not in that list, you cannot use Focus Stacking. And no it does not work with Panasonic lenses on Olympus bodies.

Hi Robin, thank you for this excellent video. I'm using E-M5 II with 12-40 mm PRO, but Set number of shots is grayed out. Set focus differential and Charge time are both available. The same result with 7-14mm PRO. I tried restarting the camera, but to no avail. However, when using an incompatible lens (75mm 1.8), all options are available, though I cannot turn Focus Stacking on. Firmware version is 4.0, and the camera is in AF mode. Any idea why?

If you have the E-M5 II, E-M1, or E-M1 II, you can enable focus stacking for other AF lenses not in that list using modified firmware: www.mu-43.com/threads/modified-firmware-looking-for-users.99804/ - I can confirm this works on an E-M5 II with the following lenses: 45mm 1.8, 75mm 1.8, 40-150mm 4-5.6.

You missed to mention Olympus Tough TG5 and TG6 - They both have In camera Focus stacking and I absolutely love it! They can do normal distance Focus stacking as well as for extreme close up (macro) images right out of the box. And they actually do have In Camera Image stabilization, very much needed to stay in low ISO for still images in low light situations. The TG5 and TG6 are the last two iterations of the Olympus underwater ruggedized cameras with a 5,6 crop factor sensor, in the TG6 the focus stacking can be adjustet from 3 to 10 images. They have the Truepic VIII image processor of the OM-D E-M1X inside! I'm not joking, they are way more serious useable cameras than the outside looks seem to indicate.

Great instructional video Robin. A couple of points - 1 - If your subject (or you) moves during the shooting process then your image may be spoiled. Therefore may not work well when photographing subjects like active insects or if the weather is windy. 2. The wider the depth setting, the longer the shooting process takes, which can exacerbate the issue in point 1.

I noticed on the EM5iii in focus bracketing (not stacking) that if you choose focus differential of 10 and go from quite close on an image that also has stuff much further away and choose a large number of frames, say 30 (not 999🤣), then the camera will take only around 7 images. It gets to infinity way before the end of the run and then stops. If you choose small focus differentials, it will take more images.

Focus stacking with my E-M1mk2 and 60mm saved my lockdown days!!! Lucky me that I bought them just two weeks before the lockdown here in Italy!! I just want to point out that sometimes a depth level of 10, or even less, it's no good because you can have some parts of the final image out of focus between a step and onther. Ciao Ah one more thing, you can also use Olimpus Viewer to recreate the focus stacking final image, and it will not be cropped.

I love the focus stacking feature, and I did not know that the M1 can do more than 8 frames, that will be a reason for me to finally upgrade, as I often fall short in macro ( with my EM5II) and jump to normal bracketing because of it ... I use this focus stacking feature sometimes to simply get a preview, and while shooting in RAW, you also get the single RAW files, not only the final jpg, so you can still stack the raw files yourself in post processing and do a bit more editing ... greetings ;)

Thanks for informative video. I've been trying to figure out how to make this work on my EM5 MK III. I did not realize that I needed a dedicated Olympus macro or any of those Pro lenses to make this feature work. I can get the camera to take the bracketed images with the kit lens, but it just won't combine them. That's a real shame, since I have eight different Olympus lenses but none of them are on that list. I think it's a real shame that Olympus blocked out all but the most expensive lenses. Obviously the camera is capable of combining the photos, but apparently Olympus wants customers to pay an extra $1,000 for the privilege of using this function on their nice new camera. :-(

For "Set Number of Shots" you recommend 15...which I agree with if you're in a controlled environment. However I find 3 handy when I shooting macro on windy days or with squirrelly subjects that like to move. The lower shot count will reduce composite errors and ghosting that can occur with movement. The other point I would like to make is that using a flash is often impractical with focus stacking...so often photographers need to choose between the two...and for macro having the flash can often be the better option.

Thank you Robin! Focus Stacking also works with my lens 12-45 f4 pro. But I can't choose the number of shots with the em5 miii. (8 is standard). I try to use focus stacking when copying old slides (dias) and it seems to improve the sharpness in the corners. Which 'focus differential setting' would you think is best for this purpose?
@w0lfyovi294
@w0lfyovi294 4 жыл бұрын
If the corner sharpness improves then it means your lens has field curvature (it means your Depth of Field is not straight from corner to corner). Most macro lenses don't suffer from this, it's why macro lenses are better at flat surfaces like the slides. (The Olympus 30mm f 3.5 Macro is cheap).

Hi Robin. I have been doing focus stacking hand held !! Not always so easy and due to movement can result in a “ghosting” at edges of image. I now use a carbon fibre walking stick with camera attachment on the top to gain stability. Still some sideways movement but considerably better. The walking stick is very very light to carry and has 3 adjustable sections giving an amazing variation of low to high position. Basically acts as a monopod. Due to recent cancellation of 3 overseas nature and wildlife trips because of the virus I have just spent the money on 2 Olympus pro lenses. I blame you entirely for this decision ha ha !!!!!! 😊😊

Hi Robin! I love your videos! I have Olympus OMD-1 Mark 3 with Olympus 60mm macro lens. I am making macro photos of spiders, and 15 photos of focus in-camera stacking seems to be not enough for proper Deep of field. Is it possible to make more focus bracketing photos in my camera (50-100) for stacking in external software? Thank you again for your wonderfull videos!!!

Well...I think the Om-D EM 10mK II , III and IV do have focus stacking option integrated. Please correct me if I´m wrong. Best all, Remus

Hi Robin, I was shooting a tiny flower with focus stacking, setup with Set Number of Shot = 15 and Set Focus Differential = 10. However, I still could not take the whole flower and it stem all in focus. Any recommendation how could I do it? Thanks

Damn, these camera's are insane! I wish my Nikon z50 haves this focus stacking program! Maby I should switch to micro four thirds. Thinking of buying the OMD em1 mark 2 or 3. The mark 3 is a lot more expensive! What do you recommend for macrophotography?

Great! I didn't understand what the focus stacking menus were trying to do. But, I'm going to go try it tomorrow--probably photographing flowers. Thanks.

No worries, take it a step at a time, flower is the perfect subject to test this on!

great video. I usually carry my 12-50mm for hiking, as it is cheap, wide enough, weatherproof and also has a 43mm macro mode for details such as mushrooms or snow flakes. unfortunately, it doesnt support in camera stacking. shit...

Quick and maybe a dumb question, Robin: after pressing the shutter for focus stacking, must I try and hold the camera still until screen shows that my EM1 MKIII is done processing? Or does the electronic shutter immediately take all 15 shots, so I can rest from pointing at the subject? Doing it handheld, it’s clear that I’m not able to withstand tiny movements.

Thank you Robin for this tutorial. Detailed as usual. Pen F is on your list but unfortunately does not have Focus Stacking function implemented. Only Focus Bracketing is available. Just tried this using a Olympus 60mm f/2.8 macro lens and having the latest firmware installed.

Excellent video Robin, one question. In your example of focus differential of 10 everything was as you demonstrated in focus. Why not use setting of 10 as default? You selected 6 or 7, is this a creative choice or for a technical reason. If used for Landscape, I assume 10 would be best if you want front to back focus? Late to this video as just getting around to trying this cool feature on my Em1. Thanks Ribin
