Automatic stacking focus

[soldevilla]

I have heard about the Olympus TG4 camera doing focus stacking automatically. But I read that this is a usable feature only in macro mode. I am very interested in being able to use an automatic stacking focus in studio photography of ceramic pieces, but I have not found anything about this. Does anyone know if this camera (or any other camera model) can do automatic stacking focus in normal mode, not just macro?

Many thanks in advance.

The new TG-6 appears to be able to generate focus bracketed frames not in macro mode (and not stacked). Se p. 85.

Earler models may offer this as well.

Yes, I've seen it already. but it does not save nor raw nor even jpg at full resolution. Still missing to offer the benefits I expect. What I have discovered is that there are Olympus cameras of higher level than if they fit my desires. What does not fit is with my VISA.

Thanks

I have a TG4, and it shoots in-camera focus stacks up to a maximum distance from the subject of approximately 40 cm (field of view very approximately 35 cm wide at minimum zoom). It apparently refuses to generate the stack if the subject is farther away than this.

PS: This is a (reduced) in-camera stack shot hand-held in ambient light. The screen has caused some lens flare.

A friend has lent me a TG5 and this model allows you to focus far away. But it still does not use JPG at full resolution or RAW
