Canon EOS RP Focus Stacking
Has anyone tried this? Any thoughts? What lens have you used? Any examples?

Yes. Recently started with it and works a treat.davholla wrote:Has anyone tried this? Any thoughts? What lens have you used? Any examples?
* Canon EOS RP + Sigma 150mm Macro
* Canon EOS RP + Sigma 150mm Macro + Nikon CFI Plan Achromat 10x (MRL00102)
* Canon EOS RP + Sigma 150mm Macro + Nikon BE Plan Achromat 4x (MRN70040)
all work fine. The in-camera stacking software works fine even outdoors once you got used to it. USB-remote control works fine in studio setup. Stepping size with the Sigma 150mm in the above configurations is good for required DoF.
My setup now is basically just the camera, bean bags, lighting. No stepper motors or other complexities.

* Canon EOS RP > USB cable > Windows 10 > EOS Utility 3
Use:
* Go to EOS Utillity 3 > Remote Shooting
* Set Focus bracketing = Enable
* Number of Shots = xx (shots for your stack)
* Focus increment = xx (focus step size between shots)
* Click OK
You can use live-view to set your starting focus point. When you take your shot, it dutifully fires off the sequence of, eg, 150 shots.
The shots are taken rapidly (several per second) and without shutter vibration, so you can take a stack of say 200 shots in maybe a minute or two.
If the end-point does not cover the required range, then you can fire off another set.
Not sure if my previous comment actually answered the second part of your question. If you're talking about creating stacks:Pau wrote:After my last update I can see a focus stack option in its menu but it doesn't work with the files generated with my 7D
You can't use EOS Utility 3 to create a stack with cameras that don't have this feature. I had to write an application some time ago that injected the required commands into the EOS Utility application, to get around this, so I could create stacks with an Canon EOS 80D without clicking myself silly.
Sure, I was referring not to take the pictures but to process them as stack.Thomas wrote:If you're talking about creating stacks:

I use Zerene and I just was curious about the new DPP function.
I didn't expect it working as new DPP features are not availabe for older cameras files in most cases, even when they could be easy to implement like some lens corrections.
Did you make it working inside EOS Utility or outside it (like mouse clicker)?I had to write an application some time ago that injected the required commands into the EOS Utility application, to get around this, so I could create stacks with an Canon EOS 80D without clicking myself silly.

Interesting, the Sigma 150 mm is not even supported, have you tried this free hand?Thomas wrote:Yes. Recently started with it and works a treat.davholla wrote:Has anyone tried this? Any thoughts? What lens have you used? Any examples?

Not sure what you mean with "not supported". It works in all usage scenarios I have thrown at it so far and it's pin sharp.davholla wrote:Interesting, the Sigma 150 mm is not even supported, have you tried this free hand?
* Sigma 150mm 1:2.8 APO MACRO DG HSM
Bought quite a number of years ago.
