Yesterday I tried focus shift for the first time. I was at an overlook attempting some fall foliage shoots. I tried several attempts various f stops from 5.6 to 16. All attempts resulted in only getting 1 or 2 shots with only the focus point being clear. Settings were number of shots 100, delay 0", various f stops ,and focus steps varied between 4 and 7.
Later on the hike out I found a dead tree with a fern growing out of it and tried again and got 32 shots.
What am I doing wrong on the long on the long distance shots or is this just a close up/ macro thing? That would really bum me out as I do more landscape than anything else.
Thanks, Alan
