Focus Stack Image Preview

[Nero]

So I sometimes shoot macro photography and wanted to try out the focus stacking now that I finally have a camera with that feature. Unfortunately, the option remains grayed out and I can't use it. I can't figure out why so there must be something I'm missing. If anyone can help me out that would be great.

Focus Shifting (Nikon's version of Focus stacking) can't be combined with a lot of other features. There's a list in the manual. The Date/Time has to be set on that camera for it to work.

I've looked through the manual and can't see anything like the list you've mentioned.

Here's a refernce

From the reference manual:
"focus shift cannot be combined with some camera features, including movie recording, time-lapse movies, bracketing, the self-timer, long time-exposures (bulb or time photography), HDR (high dynamic range), multiple exposure, and interval timer photography"

Not sure how I missed that. Thanks .

Would have liked it on the Z50 but we know what Nikon are like
