Great detail and distinct focus. About how long does focus shift take for 80 shots? I still focus stack manually and enjoy the process but this longer process exposes the shot to movement.

Thank you. I did in camera focus shift shooting and it took about a minute. I did lots of manual focus ones with my 200mm f/4 lens which took quiet a while for sure. The automation sure makes it easier and much quicker.

Super shot! There is no doubt that focus stacking results in a truly stunning image.

Thank you. I really like doing focus stacks and have been using helicon for a few years. I’ve found the best results in camera with a 3-4 step range and 80-120 shots works best with minimal cleanup. It’s a tossup between method B and C but honestly since the last update, it seems like method C works the best more times than not. If I do have to do any cleanup I normally take it over in the photo shop because I never have got the hang of using Helicon’s native tools.
