Focus Stacking

[jp37421]

Is there a Canon camera that will allow you to set the start, end points and number of shots to take?

You got PM.

You can do it with any camera in post.

I think my CamRanger does this (I don't use it for that), but that's an expensive solution.

Refocusing a lens can cause some difference based on focus-breathing (that's where the true focal length changes just be shifting focus).  If you are interested in focus-stacking specifically for macro photogoraphy, the common solution is to use a "focus rail".  This mounts the entire camera on a rail (attached to a tripod) and the rail allows the entire camera to slide forward/backward (my rail has about 11 cm worth of travel).  You shoot, move it a few millimeters & repeat until you have enough frames.  But it's not automatic.

Yes. Use the app DSLR controller and you have the focus stacking function. There are some discussions here :
