How to Do Focus Bracketing with your Fujifilm Camera

Published: Wed, 06/19/19

Hi ,

With the foliage and wildflowers of summer starting to come into full bloom, there's a technique you can use to create very compelling images with your Fuji camera. It's called Focus Bracketing.

Often used for shooting macro images, this setting was added to most of the X Series cameras last year, and it allows you to easily bracket a series of shots with your Fuji that all vary slightly in focus distance.

Then, using software like Photoshop, Photoshop Elements and Affinity Photo, you can stack and combine your frames into a single image that gives you a much wider depth of field than you'd normally be able to get with a single frame.

The results can be pretty impressive, which means that this technique can really open up your creative options when photographing subjects up close.

Here's a tutorial that shows you exactly how to do focus bracketing with the Fuji cameras. I posted it last year, but in case you missed it, I'm sharing it again. Even if you read it the first time around, hopefully it will inspire and rekindle your desire to get out there and try some new compositions.

If you do try this technique and you get an awesome shot, feel free to share it with me or post it on social media and tag me.

Good luck and enjoy the rest of your week! :)

Sincerely,

Dan Bailey
