Focus stacking questions

Post by rz514 »

Hello!

I just started using this app with my Nikon D7200 and have a few questions for focus stacking...

What is FOCUS STEPS? i do not understand what "Focus Step is the amount the lens focus ring will be moved" .. what does this mean and how does this apply while taking a picture?

Also, it happens often that the focus goes out of focus after the 1st shot, i don't understand why it does this since both focus points were properly set?

thanks in advance

Not sure how could I explain it, it is the amount of the movement that is applied to the lens focus ring.
What settings did you use? Can you reproduce? Maybe a picture that demonstrates the problem?
