❚❚ Ending Focus Shift Photography To end shooting before all shots have been taken, either: • select [Focus shift shooting] in the photo shooting menu, highlight [Off], and press J, or • press the shutter-release button halfway or press the J button between shots. D Aperture Given that pictures shot at very small apertures (high f-numbers) may lack definition, we recommend that you choose apertures wider (f-numbers lower) than f/8-f/11. D During Shooting During focus shift photography, the release mode indicator in the control panel will turn off. The memory card access lamp will flash. D Focus Shift Photography • The shutter speed and the time needed to record the image may vary from shot to shot. As a result, the interval between a shot being recorded and the start of the next shot may vary. • Shooting ends when focus reaches infinity, and consequently depending on the focus position at the start of shooting, shooting may end before the selected number of shots has been taken. • Regardless of the option selected for Custom Setting c3 [Power off delay] > [Standby timer], the standby timer will not expire while shooting is in progress. • If you are using a flash, choose an interval longer than the time needed for the flash to charge. If the interval is too short, the flash may fire at less than the power needed for full exposure. • If shooting cannot proceed at current settings, for example because shutter speed is set to "Bulb" or "Time", a warning will be displayed. • Changing camera settings while focus shift photography is in progress may cause shooting to end. 360 C The Photo Shooting Menu: Shooting Options
