Trying stack focus. I keep geting "soft focus limit reached", and nothing happens. Have a 550D and using a Sigma 50-200 HSM with stablizer. Using 1/17 build.
Can't try it right now; does follow focus work?
Try changing your step size or delay.
Tried follow focus, and it works. Delay set to 2. Focus end pt is -3 steps from here. Stack focus is Snap, 5steps/pic
I get "soft limit reached" with a beep.
Changed lens to canon 18-55 and got results. Stack focus doesnt like the Sigma lens maybe.
I'm afraid it's the lens firmware not reporting the data correctly :/
In my experience only my Canon EF 100mm macro with USM works great. Very accurate step registration and reproduction.
I tried EF 50mm 1.8 and Tokina 400 5.6 and they didn't reach the preset endpoint. I hear it's the USM type lenses that work work great. Maybe others too.
The 18-55 canon is a new lens that came with my wife's new 500D. I find it to be an excellent lens.
