Hey guys, let me know how you plan to use the focus bracketing feature with the Fuji XT4!

Efrem, your presentations are simply amazing; your use of language is precise and easily digested.

Thank you for a very clear and straightforward explanation of the focus bracketing and stacking process with the X-T4. It now all makes sense to me! 🙏

Excellent video tutorial. Thank you very much.

Thank you for an excellent review and insight into the process

Excellent video. Very neat explanation with clarity.

Thank you for this extremely helpful video!!

Great presentation! Thanks

Thanks slot, great job!!

Thanks for very timely reply. I will try your fix for display fade away.thanks. Do more!

Thank you for this tutorial

Awesome man, I recently bought the new FUJİFİLM xt4 and didn't know that this function exist.

Such a great video! I have Canon 700d since 2014 and want to upgrade. I didnt think about any other camera than canon but fuji costs less and have better specs than rp in some fields. If fuji is full frame I would buy now! I am into macro photography

Hope to try some macros soon using the focus stacking!

Cool cheers

Thanks for a really helpful tutorial. I've just purchased an X-T4 and want macro shots of jewelry. Stacking seems the perfect way of getting the best out of the subject. I followed your instructions right up to setting point B. I hit back to come out (no confirmation that it's been setup, as you say) and when I press the shutter, it only takes a single shot. Can you throw some help as to why this is happening? It's been updated to latest firmware. Thanks in advance :)

Hi - thanks for this helpful video! Two observations, in about 4:13, if you look at the LCD screen there appears to be a yellow bar on the distance scale - is this giving you confirmation of the A-B range set? I think it might be, which would be confirmation of what was set. Second, I think if you use electronic shutter the burst rate may be a little faster than in mechanical shutter? Again I am not sure, but thought I would mention it, just in case it was helpful! Thanks again for this video.

Great video! I have a question..... The majority of what I like to shoot are landscapes using exposure bracketing, typically from 3 to 5 bracketed images and using the best 3 that I then run through Aurora 2019 to combine exposures... and then edit the resulting photo so that it looks more natural. I've been searching for a way to be able to automatically FOCUS stack to get an in-camera totally in focus image at all distances, and THEN exposure bracket 3 to 5 shots of that completely in focus (at all points) image. I've been looking to find a camera to best achieve this. In order to do this on the Fuji XT4, how would you set up to get exposure bracketed images that are automatically Focus Stacked? And is there another camera better suited for this?

My olympus EM1 stacks the photos in the camera it would be nice if fuji would do that

I know this video is old, yet; I am trying to do the same, but which kind of lens are you using? I use a Laowa 65 macro 2x for my macro photography and want to try this way! Thanks best from URuguay.

Nice video, clearly explained you have a perfect voice for KZfaq very soothing, I have a tx2 at the moment and probably will upgrade soon, I have just bought the camera and didn't know about the auto on the tx4, I am trying to find out if there is any other option to Photoshop for finishing off, I have Affinity Photo and Photoshop essentials but don't think they will work.

Great video. When I use the same 'Auto - focus bracketing' with my Xt4, I end up with 200-300 photos. This is with flowers as close as possible to the lens. Comparing the focus distance range on your video compared to mine, your focus range is much greater (ie my a and b points are almost on top of each other). Why do I get so many photos?

Awesome demonstration! Can this be accomplished with electronic shutter?

Good video, thanks 🙏 Is it also per touch on display possible to set point A and B or only MF with peaking?

I think manual stacking good for if you changing camera position.

Great video and extremely informative. Just started trying this today and some concerns: A and. B visual selections go away quickly before selections can be made. This could useful but I am having trouble implementing it. I have all the stuff you used in this presentation so interested if you could go step by step, especially when doing front/back selections. My screens stop before e selections can be made.

Actually after watching this and seeing the flawless way you work i think the XT4 is wasted in my hands . I will never be able to master this camera to justify having it.

Is there a reason why you did not simply select the "Edit In" function from Lightroom and then "Open as layers in Photoshop", bypassing the export to *.TIF ?

Hi, any idea how to "reset" the points to select new ones? The only way I figured out was to go back into settings and re-select "auto" even though it is already selected, but that's a bit clunky. Do you know of a better way?

Hi there How to set mukbang video a lot of food on table focus clearly? Front to back. I tried differently but always end up front is out of focus.brcaketting seems same. Xt4 new user Thank you

Question when you zoom in what back button/dial setting are you using? Does the Auto function jump to B or stay at A after zooming? Do these focal plane selection points remain if a new shot is made? I’m finding this to be very jittery! Fuji are you listening?

Can touchscreen focus be used to set the two (A and B) focus points? Thanks!

This is a great feature but you have to have a auto focusing lens for auto feature to work. I have a manual Laowa 2x macro for Fuji but auto feature isn’t available. Bummer

The burst rate in focus bracketing is awfully slow. What if my subject is moving? The Olympus M1 MkIII can do 10fps in focus bracketing mode. Why is this camera so much slower?

Is this feature in any other Fujifilm X series cameras?

Do you feel that using focus stacking takes away from the simplicity of the subject being photographed? What I mean is, like in my landscapes if there’s not anything close I want in focus and it doesn’t need to be in focus to tell the story I’m trying to tell, I just don’t bother. I suppose it’s personal preference. I personally believe the story is or what I’m trying to get the viewer to see is more important.

Trying this on my X-E4 but it's not shooting the whole series, it only takes a single shot 🤷

can we use that without a tripod?

Helikon or Photoshop Is better?

Which lens setup did you use

I am aware that the Helicon Focus product does not accept .RAF files for focus stacking...

Nice demo but if I follow your method I get one photo. No stacking. I set point A, then if I set point B and click OK, then click back, then release the shutter I get a single photo. Please elaborate on the settings you are using this is driving me nuts! It seems the only way it will take a series of photos is if I set point A then adjust focus for point B and WITHOUT CLICKING OK to then release the shutter. I did this and got a series of nearly 60 images focus stacked. Why does this work differently for you. Very confusing.
