Focus stacking software: a post-processing technique that extends the depth of field in your photographs.To use this technique, you take several images of the same scene, focusing your lens on a different part of the object for each shot.

First, take a good look at the CamRanger camera controller. This little device plugs into your camera and provides wireless connection to a smartphone, tablet, or laptop/desktop computer. It lets you live view and control focus without touching the camera at all. With most cameras, it even provides automatic focus stacking – just set limits and step size, push the Shoot Stack button, and watch the CamRanger and camera do all the work of shooting the stack.
If you're shooting small subjects, then take a look at the StackShot rail, a product of Cognisys Inc.

Zerene Stacker Professional and Prosumer Editions now include a direct interface to the StackShot rail – see HERE for details.
