I was hoping that maybe finally someone from Nikon would give us some more math / facts on focus step width. Why, for years now, has Nikon refused to tell us exactly what is going on with this and how it interacts with aperture at various focal lengths? I have used Nikon cameras for a lot of years and have always liked the interface quite a lot but the focus step width mystery is ridiculous.
Hi David, Sorry for the time it took for us to reply. Unfortunately, NX Studio does not have a blending tool, and this effect is not possible with NX Studio.
For Focus stacking I do need to be on AF (not MF), so I don't need to set the focus on the closest point of the object before starting, right? Or do I have to do it and it will continue further in to depth?
HI Neil - Great video . "First Frame Exposure Lock" ON (Mirrorless) is this the same function as "Exposure Smoothing" when using the D850? Should I switch on the "Exposure Smoothing" when focus stacking on the D850?
Hi, Focus stacking will work the same with flash, having one adjustment regarding the time between shots. You will need to set the time between each shot to be at least the time the flash takes to recharge.
Hello Chris, I am sorry for the delay in our reply. Cameras with focus peaking also include the D780, The Z 50 and Nikon Z 5. I hope this information helps.
It's unfortunate that you can't do this with non z lenses. I have some brilliant f mount lenses that I use via the FtZ adapter but none will work with regards to this.
Hi Indrajit, Sorry for the time it took for us to reply. Focus shift can be used with manual focus lenses. The process would in this case need for several shots to be taken with the focus being manually adjusted between each shot, and having the stack performed on software.
these snippets are great 👍
This is about focus shift shooting (also known as bracketing). Stacking (or blending) in software is still a mystery.
Brilliant information

Thank you for this information
Would love to have also seen the blending process, can NX-Studio do this?

Nikon I always love you❤❤❤❤❤

Was it ever mentioned which Camera was used here?
I wish it did this automatically like the Lumix cameras do.
спасибо.
How does it work with flash in the studio?

@@NikonEurope thanks!
Hi what camera models is this applicable to - I'm guessing just high end D6,m D850 & Z series

So this technique can't be used with a manual focus lens, Neil?

@@NikonEurope Much appreciated
Not available on D750 apparently...
It should get a DNG directly in camera.
