there's a bit of a catch with Nikon cameras. with Nikon, the camera displays the _effective_ aperture (i.e., it takes into account loss of light in exposure as it approaches macro distances) so make sure you set the optimum aperture before you set to the intended (macro or close-focus) distance. don't be alarmed if the camera automatically changes aperture as you focus closer to your subject...just adjust the shutter speed and/or lighting to achieve proper exposure.
The question of Focus comes to the fore in this mini series. Focus staking is very interesting. I was just trying that. Thank you for this mini series. I watch on youtube The ULTIMATE Toy Photography Advice - with Dave DeBaeremaeker. Super interesting. Thanks for all that work ;-)
Would like to see the editing video
Hi @Awt26, thank you for watching and getting in touch. I'll be putting together an editing video as part of the series soon :)

@bubuli Absolutely. Thank you for your comment. This will surely be helpful to all Nikon shooters :)
First time I hear about it. I have Nikon z6II.
