That's a lot of informations! I did not know that you can only stack 15 photo in camera with OM system. I think the Canon R7 can do at least 100 internally. I could be more or i could also be wrong... I actually never do it. 🙄 Thanks for all that experience shared! 👍
Thanks for checking it out Chris! if I had a camera that could do 100 internally I would probably use it a lot more. I actually prefer just bracketing and stacking later in Helicon focus due to the limitation of only 8 shots on mine and forced electronic shutter causing a very low shutter speed- or better yet just going for a single shot high f#
Great video Brian, the best explanation of the subject I've seen. I was surprised to learn that the Godox flash functions like the Olympus flashes for charging between flashes so that was also really useful. Thanks for this! ❤
Wow thanks, that means a lot and glad it helps! One thing to keep in mind, there was an issue with the newer OM1's where I think initially this was not the case but then was resolved with a firmware update or a need to change a setting on the Godox lens to a mode that had it operate with a certain pin configuration (but worked fine by default at least with the EM5's and EM1s)
Good tutorial. I realized while watching this that I haven't tried bracketing or stacking on my Canon R10. Now I'm curious to see how it compares to the E-M1 Mark II.
That would be a great video if you do it - Id be curious to see how it does! Also would be curious to know if canon also has restrictions on which lens it can and cannot stack with (or bracket)
Happy little trees lol. Oh wild, I thought all the pro lens did. I'm glad the non-pro macros have it though, I'm tempted to try the 30mm sometime, it's on sale cheap at the moment.
Very helpful video once again Brian. Thank you so much. Now this has been confusing me since I started with tge OM1, I have watched quite a lot of videos on RUclips by various people on focus stacking/bracketing. I often see them moving forwards as they are taking the shot. Do I need to do this or is the camera doing this for me. Or does the camera do it for me in focus stacking but not bracketing? I hope I'm making some sense here. 🙄🙂
Great question Steve, I do understand what you are asking, and something I found very confusing also initially! With in camera stacking AND bracketing - you do not want to move at all - the camera is shifting the focus for you (must have the lens set to autofocus BTW) The rocking back and forth method somewhat replicates a focus rail - and is used either when using a lens or camera combo hat will not support stacking or bracketing, or when the lens in is manual focus - or its just a flighty or potentially moving subject and you dont really have the chance to set up the focus - 'spray and pray'. When in the field trying to get say a tiny insect - a lot of times its easier to just set it on burst mode, rapid fire 10s or 100s of shots and then in post trying to find the images out of hundreds potentially that can then be used it stacking. Bracketing, Stacking, and Rocking Back and Forth are all I have found worth practicing and each has their place.
@BMadPhoto Many thanks Brian. I'm sure glad that's cleared up, I can get on practicing. Single shots only at the moment, I'm waiting for the wind to drop. 👍😀

@@BMadPhoto yes, at least there is more freedom with bracketing anyway!
😀
I am so glad I found your channel, what a great resource! Well done!
Thanks for the video. It has really helped understand focus stacking and bracketing.
Glad it was helpful - Thanks for the kind words, means a lot :)

Great tutorial vids ❤
Thanks for watching!
Thanks a lot, Brian.
My pleasure and Thank You! Happy Shooting Joe :)
Thank you 🙏
For sure! Thanks for watching and happy shooting :)

@@BMadPhoto I'm definitely already brainstorming that idea. I don't even know if Canon has lens restrictions yet, but I'll find out.
Heh great bob ross intro. Fantastic video and tips . Also the 20mm pro doesnt allow in-camera stacking .
Happy little trees lol. Oh wild, I thought all the pro lens did. I'm glad the non-pro macros have it though, I'm tempted to try the 30mm sometime, it's on sale cheap at the moment.
