General Help Q&A / 5D3 Rack Focus Problem
June 20, 2020, 05:39:24 PM
I am trying to set up rack focus to use with focus stacking. While in Live View, I use the joystick to focus to one of the focus end points that I want, then select Focus End Point and press Q. This sets the value to 0 (here). I then adjust focus to the other end point. The end point count is whatever. I press Set to set the second end point.
Now if I select Rack Focus and press Set, the focus only moves a short way toward the first focus point. Similarly, if I go into the Focus Stacking menu, select Copy rack focus range and press Set, the appropriate total number of pictures changes. When I select Run focus stack and press Set, the camera takes the specified number of pictures, but focus again only moves part way to the other focus end point.
What, if anything, am I doing wrong?
