I know nothing about this, but I find it interesting. So the camera automatically changes the focal point? If so, then it can only be done on certain cameras, correct? Will the camera “stack” the images by itself? Or must a computer program be used to create the final image? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks!
My Z7 creates the images and you stick them in software. My Olympus does this also, call focus-bracketing and it will create up to 999 images to stack on a computer. It also has built in focus stacking. You can set it for up to 15 images and it will create the stack in camera. It only creates a JPEG though.

A helpful hint: always start your focus bracket BEFORE the point point you think is the closest focus. While is sound funny, sometimes the point of closest focus is not where you think it is and you therefore miss it Sometimes it is difficult to tell where it is. It is easy to locate that point on the computer screen after the fact and to trash any extraneous images. I have stacked thousands of images since I began stacking in 2006. If you stack often enough you will probably miss the starting point in an image you like. Building in a margin of error costs little and may save an image.

Yes, that’s what I do. I use AF then switch to manual and back of just a hair. Then I switch back to AF and start the sequence.
