Okay I get it but don’t you still get movement. I guess I used Helicon focus and real sensitive to movement. Can we not still do it with other cams run a 5fps second burst and focus out at same time. I’m a workaround person


You might get some movement but the slightly out-of-register images are fairly easy to reconcile, especially with Photoshop's stacking automation. For me anyway, it's small price to pay for the flexibility of being able to handhold (with a single hand) some very unusual compositions, or compositions where an ocean wave is about to submerge your camera unless you withdraw the camera fast enough.

As of now, I use two hands to wind through the focus ring while shooting at 10FPS. Works OK but I'd love for this be a one-handed operation (that would also reduce out-of-register problems in the focus-stacked images).

My overall point is that this is an easy thing for Sony to add. Nikon had it in the D850 but it was very clunky. Canon has it in their R cameras and it is extremely well implemented. Sony has all the pieces in place to build a software solution for almost all of its existing cameras.




I'll be interested to see how Sony has done with this implementation...I await some detailed user reports. Add that to the a properly modern Bulb mode and those are meaningful improvements for me.
