How to Use Focus Shift (Stack) with Nikon Z 9, Z 8, Z 7, Z 6

In this video I walk you through how I used Nikon Z 9's Focus Shift feature to create 50 images of a house fly. I take all those images into Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop to create the resulting image that is sharp throughout the entire fly.

It's a great feature of the camera that really lets you in on all the details.
