Hey all,
Has anyone had any success with the Polaris doing focus stacking with a Sony A7C (or any other Sony camera)?
I've tried all possible combination of settings but no success. I can actually focus with the Polaris app by pushing the arrow keys in the app's "MF" mode. But the app does not do it automatically when set up accordingly for focus stacking.
I am running the latest version of the app as available by mid-October 2024. My Polaris' firmware is in version 6.0.0.48. The Polaris is connected to a Sony A7C with the Sony 20mm f1.8 G lens. The lens "AF/MF" switch is set to "AF". The camera is set to "MF" (manual focus).
In the app's "FOCUS STACK" mode I can push the "MF" button (upper right corner) and adjust the focus with the arrow buttons. No problem at all. When I push the "Shots XX" button (lower left corner) I can set up the number of shots and set starting and end point when pushing the "Set focus distance" button. No issues at all. When I then hit the "Preview" button, the focus remains at the last position it was set to. No change what so ever. Same when I trigger the actual shooting. The set number of shots are taken but all with the focus settings not changing at all.
Has anybody any idea, what I am doing wrong here?
Thanks.
