[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 801111, member: 46724"] No, the p950 won’t auto focus bracket, it’ll just auto bracket for exposure. To my knowledge, Nikon doesn’t offer a camera as of yet that will auto focus [B]stack[/B], just auto focus bracket. There are some (including my z6 and all other mirrorless, but maybe not the z30) that will auto focus bracket shots for you but the stack is up to you to complete while post processing, that is it will take a series of shots for you adjusting focus automatically in camera at adjustment parameters you set in camera but will not merge the stack for you in camera, you’ll have to do that on the computer or tablet using something like photoshop or similar.
