Your Thoughts on Focus Bracketing with EOS R5 and EOS R6 Mark II

I am wondering what opinions people might have positive or negative about using the built in focus bracketing in the R5 and R6Mii. Any suggestions will also be helpful.

Thank You

Why ask us? If it works for you, use it. If not look for other options

Jkarl, I use it on both bodies and have had great success, so far all positive. Depending on the subject I can achieve nice results hand held but use a tripod when ever possible. I do not use the jpeg output that the camera supplies, I review and select my frames and use Photoshop or DPP for the stack. Honestly I prefer PS as its faster and gives me more flexibility for post.

I use it frequently and haven't had much of a down side at all. It's a fun process unless you are outdoors and it's windy.

I target (or try) an area in the foreground of my subject as a focus point and shoot enough frames to finish behind the subject. I review the images in bridge or DPP and select my frames, make a copy of the ones I'm using into a separate folder and start the stacking process.

I shot 30 frames, used 20, shot @ an interval of 2
