Notes on the [Post Focus]/[Focus Stacking]

■
Limitations in [Post Focus] recording
• Since recording is performed in the same picture quality as 4K photos, certain
limitations apply to recording functions and menu settings. For details, refer to
"Limitations on the 4K Photo function" (→115).
• In addition to the limitations of the 4K Photo function, the following limitations apply to
[Post Focus] recording:
– Auto Focus Mode is not available.
– Manual Focus cannot be used.
– The following menu items are disabled:
[Rec] menu ([AFS/AFF/AFC]/[Digital Zoom])
[Custom] menu ([Shutter AF]/[Remaining Disp.]/[Video Button])
– Motion pictures cannot be recorded.
About camera temperature

●
When selecting the focus and saving pictures, you cannot select and save the picture from a TV
screen even if the camera is connected to a TV through an HDMI micro cable.
●
In the following cases, [Focus Stacking] may produce an unnatural picture:
• If the subject is in motion
• If there are large differences in distance to the subject
• If there is significant blurring (recording with a larger aperture might make the picture less
unnatural)
• If a conversion lens (optional) is used for recording
●
During focus stacking, auto compensation is applied to deviations among pictures due to camera
shake. In such cases, the angle of view will be slightly narrower at the time of focus stacking.
●
Only pictures taken using [Post Focus] are eligible for [Focus Stacking].
