[QUOTE="Robin W, post: 829398, member: 44436"] So Andy got me a D850 for Christmas and I finally had a little time to play with the focus shift shooting. Sometimes it works sort of and sometimes it doesn't. I have it set to AF-S, F5.6, 30 shots, 1 Step interval, because I am trying to do a table top for the weekly photo contest, 2 second interval to allow the lights to recharge, smoothing is selected. I turned off silent because the lights would not flash. However, with those settings it only takes one photo. I have tried moving the interval. I have tried going through the menu and clicking ok all over again on each item to no avail. I am not sure what I am missing. Do any of you have any idea what I might try? Thanks I got it to take about 8 photos. I did not do anything different but to double check my settings and gave it some time since the last try. I set the focus point just before the nearest point. The first photo was out of focus which I expected. The next photo was in focus. The remaining photos were way out of focus like it just missed moving the focus point. I ran the 5 photos through Lightroom and then Helicon Focus and got a photo that was to large to save. This can't be this hard. [/QUOTE]
