Identical photos

[monochrome]

Hi, my first post here.

A couple of questions:

1. Is it possible to shoot two (or more) identical photos for each focus point automatically? Example: 3 focusing points + 2 identical images per focus point = 6 images total (automatically).

2. After defining the first and last focusing points and saving (A and B, respectively) is it safe to let the program choose the number of shots and the interval in every situation? Or should this be my own decision?

Thank you in advance.

Best,

You can make the program to shoot several identical photos. Go to exposure bracketing, switch to manual mode and set two or more exposures with the same settings. Then define focus bracketing parameters and start shooting.

DOF value retuned by DOF calculator is an approximate value. Please see help files about checking and fine tuning DOF calculator for your own lens.

That is indeed an interesting shortcut. Thanks.
On a second thought, I'd "lose" the bracketing function - I wonder if there is any other way to automatically do identical shots while keeping the bracketing function...

You want to combine focus bracketing, exposure bracketing AND the ability to do two identical shots for each combination?

Again, you can set exposure bracketing in manual mode for this. Define two shots with EV0, then two shots with EV+2, and so on.
