Focus bracketing on Fujifilm cameras, such as the XT3, XT4, XS10, GFX100S, etc.. Most of the step-by-step Photoshop, Lightroom, and Helicon Focus focus stacking information will also cover the X-T2, as well as most DSLR or mirrorless cameras.

I cannot begin to tell you how much you have helped me with understanding the steps! I always thought that doing macro would be step 1 and used (say 10) shots...NEVER could get it to work, soI abandoned this feature and just manually moved focus points. Can't wait to try it out now!...and BTW, I always just 'flatten' the layers in Photoshop and hit save, back to LR. BUT now you have got me interested in Helicon Focus! Thank You Chris!! Another new trick for an old dog!!

Thank you kind Sir, your thorough explanations on all your videos are excellent. Without you I would still be fumbling through a next to useless manual, and I may well never have achieved the level of enthusiasm for photography that I have. This video not only helps us with Fujifilm camera bracketing mode, but also LR to PS photo stacking. You are an inspiration, keep well!

@KristiGay1973 3 жыл бұрын

I tried focus bracketing today for the first time with my Fuji X-T2 (that I've had since October 2019). I shoot a lot of macro but never had the capability to create multiple focus area images easily when I was using my Canon FF camera bodies. HOLY WOW!~ I adore my Fuji gear so much. And your videos are always so helpful. Thank you so much for all that you do.

Hey Tammy! Thank you so much! Yeah, this video was like a stale hangover that went on way too long. LOL, I actually shot much of the basic footage back in November but got stuck on the "steps" part and that took a hell of a lot of time to figure out. Anyhow, I am looking forward to seeing a new video from you and see that your channel is growing (as it deserves to be!). Take care and I will definitely see you again around this electronic campfire.

Great video on multiple levels. I'm in the process of converting to Fuji X for several reasons, not the least is I'm old school and want the manual "feel". I've only in the past year begun using focus stacking, and honestly wasn't aware of the features these cameras have to support it. You've both educated me on the technique, but also on the camera I plan to use. Thanks!

A lot of macro work is shot with a variety of flash setups. The focus bracket interval setting should be set to whatever your flash needs to recharge before the next shot and/or prevent overheating. I've had good luck using 1 second intervals, but I'm sure it will vary depending on the flash power settings and battery condition.

Hey Carlos, thank you so much! Yeah, I started using Photoshop and it was driving me crazy because the actual focus stacking just never looked that right. I know I could have gone into the layer mask settings and played around with it for hours but I did not want to do that. I think Zerene stacker is the best of the third-party software applications that I used and they do offer a 30 day trial - I have no affiliation with them whatsoever. Anyhow, good luck and I hope you get some great photos!

Something to consider... These days you can teach online so much easier. I think you could really fill a need for Fuji users but really your experience level is so broad that you could of course teach people who use other brands too.
