@chelseagraham is it possible for you to do some manual testing to figure out the if the camera reverts back to original focal length after the focus bracketing shot for the next shot.
Found this little piece of information, from canons sdk faq: Q) Is it possible to get the current focus position using SDK? A) No. EDSDK is not able to obtain the focus position of lens.
Issue
Implementing the focus bracketing feature of the cameras into the entomology gui.
Detailed description of the issue.
It could include examples,reference to similar issue and clear boundaries of the issue.
This means that the focus bracketing mode is disabled when the camera is switched off and has to be manually set again when switched on.
This will break the entomology guis import of the photos, since it is set to just get 1 photo for each "shot".
Why is it needed/relevant ?
Estimate level of effort required.
What is the expected acceptable result.
A functioning gui application that allows for taking focus bracketed captures and can transfer the images seamlessly to the host computer.
Give a clear approach/potential solution on how to resolve it.
What could be the challenges ?
What test are required ?
if the amount the focus changes can be tracked.
Number of photos we need to take with each capture.
Which focus increment to use.
does the camera lens revert back to its original position
