Focus Bracketing is like magic on EOS RP with the RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM lens!!!

When I tried to focus bracket with manual focus, the focus didn't advance. All images where the same. I had to rely on auto-focus.

The result was nice anyway. But I was interested in selectively focusing the starting point using focus peaking.

Thanks in advance.

I can see how what I said is misleading but I cannot edit original post anymore.

It should have said: "First frame was focused by selecting specific focus point on display". Camera and lens were always in auto-focus mode.

That is what I was doing.

However in the example below I was trying to focus in the extreme point of the aircraft but failed. Had to put a ruler on a side, focus there and then crop it.

Never the less the images are razor sharp. My older pictures of model aircraft never get more than one 3rd in focus. Now my problem is that all defects and dirt are visible, lol.

14 images focus stacked.

You can't use a ruler! I have a patent on using a ruler for focus stacking. That will be $20 for each use.

Your ruler is stainless steel and graduated in inches. According to my lawyers, patent is not covering cheap plastic metric rulers

Have you tried switching autofocus to Spot AF to focus on the front extreme point?

Yep, apparently was too thin to focus on, it either focused a little bit back (where the cone starts to widen) or failed to focus. I tried that with low light, will try again with better light.
