Just like our eyes, cameras can focus at different distances, but not all distances at once. Hold your hand up in front of your face and look at something far away -- your hand will appear blurry. Now focus your eyes on your hand and the background will blur. Camera lenses and sensors do the same thing.

Focus Stacking

But we don't have to put up with reality! We can take a series of photos with the MEMENTO, each with a different focal length, and then use some clever software to combine them into a single, in-focus-at-all-distances image. This is especially useful when taking close-up macro photographs, such as the flowers seen here.

In this guide we'll cover focus stacking as well as two other neat tricks -- rack focus and split focus -- you can do with the MEMENTO.
