re: Hasselblad X2D 100C: Step Size for its Focus Bracketing Feature

The idea (well, one idea) is that by focus bracketing, a better overall image can be had in 3D scenes where it can be difficult to determine the best point of focus. Shoot the bracket, then later assess which is best.

Sony A7R V can do a 3-shot focus bracket, one front and one back focused… but I haven’t played with the spacing

DIGLLOYD: somehow I hadn’t noticed that!

With Focus Bracket Order = 0 →- →+, the Sony A7R V fixes the shots at 3.

Step Size is applicable and can be configured also.

Useful to be sure, but not as useful as Hasselblad’s Symmetric mode, which places no restriction on the number of shots.
