The Canon EOS R5 includes a “focus bracketing” feature for focus stacking.
Focus Bracketing enables new possibilities for photographers looking to increase their photo's Depth-of-Field. This operation automates the process of taking multiple images with the goal of combining the area of sharp focus of numerous depths within the scene into one image via the Digital Photo Professional application in post-production.
Of course, you need not use marginal software like Digital Photo Professional; I use Zerene Stacker.
Missing in the Canon EOS R5 are pixel shift as on Sony mirrorless, and a multi-shot high-res mode as in the Panasonic S1R.
Disappointing for still photography is the inclusion of an anti-aliasing filter aka low-pass filter. See Blur Caused by Anti-Aliasing Filter in Making Sharp Images. I’m not certain, but it might be that pixel shift and multi-shot high-res mode are precluded by the inclusion of a low-pass filter—a lousy tradeoff IMO, but I’m not a video shooter.
