Focus bracketing

Focus bracketing is like taking a bunch of pictures of the same thing, but each picture has a different focus. It's like when you play with a camera and change the focus on it, so some things in the picture look blurry and some things look clear.

With focus bracketing, you take lots of pictures, each with a slightly different focus. Then, you can use a special computer program to combine all the pictures into one super clear picture. This is called "stacking".

For example, if you were taking a picture of a flower, you might take one picture with the focus on the petals, then another picture with the focus on the stem, and another picture with the focus on the leaves. Then, you could use focus bracketing to combine all three pictures into one picture where the petals, stem, and leaves are all clear and in focus.

Focus bracketing is helpful when you're taking pictures of things that are very close up or very far away, because it can be hard to get everything in focus with just one picture. By taking multiple pictures with different focuses, you can make sure everything looks clear and sharp.
