Nikon Focusing Step Size
Posted: 15.09.2014 03:14
I thought there was a topic somewhere in here that specified the focusing step size for cameras. I have a Nikon D810, and the preferences for the current version of Helicon Remote lists "15" as the focusing step size... A couple questions:
Does the step size change with different lenses?
If not, does anyone know the correct focusing step size for the D810 (or, if it's actually 15, cool, let me know)
How does focusing step size relate to the focusing A-B done in Helicon Remote? If I go "50" in HR, is it 50 * the 15 focusing step size or what?
How do focusing steps relate to distance? What IS "15"? When I press the ">>>" and move "25", how far is that in actual distance?
I'm curious because I often know how far I need to focus to get the whole item in focus, so it would be useful to know if what I'm seeing as the A-B distance is actually getting the whole item sharp...
Anyhow, I'd like to make sure I get the focusing step size right, but I"d like a better understanding of focusing step versus distance... Thoughts?
