Focus stacking tutorial ?

I read on another post that there will soon be a tutorial for focus stacking, I use a 5D2 and wondered if this tutorial is up and running.

Many thanks.

You need to do:
1. Enable View live.
2. focus on an object (which will be the initial point of focus)
3. Go to the menu focus
4. Find the line "End Point Focus" and select its button "set"
5. Use the arrow keys to select the end point of focus and press the "set"
6. Focus on the starting point.
7. Go to line "focus stack" and press "Q" to select the settings as desired (step size and method of launching a stack of focus).
8. I recommend starting to do a stack of focus on the key "Play" in this case, we choose a line "focus stack" (after all the steps of setting a number of lights should be green circle) and press "play", then the camera will do a series of images with different focusing step.
