At this point I considered attaching a video of the Hallelujah Chorus of Handel’s Messiah. I had been waiting and hoping and praying that Sony would add focus bracketing to my Sony A7 IV camera by a firmware update but had more or less given up.
They did it! Well, they made the update but I haven’t updated my camera yet.
But I watched the video below and did a quick jig around my house and am now calming down enough to type this post.
Ah hell, let’s add the Hallelujahs!

Really!!??
I’ve been wanting focus bracketing for years! Years ago, FB was a relatively expensive windows or apple program and you had to shoot with the camera tethered to a computer. What a PIA.
I’m gonna update right now.
It can immediately help with a number of different types of shots I do. Aircraft in a museum for example. Museums are crowded with a constant problem of subject isolation. Far enough out to get the entire plane in the shot and there is a LOT of stuff competing for attention. Close enough with a wide angle and there is the depth of field problem.

I had to do two updates. First I had to go from version 1.01 to 1.05. Then 1.05 to 4.00. But it worked. I’ll load up the trial macro focus bracket soon. It’s much easier than the damn tether.
