I wouldn't make that assumption. I've never tried extreme macro, but do you think 999 steps is enough?

999 steps on which interval? 999 one micron steps for 1mm depth, by example?

Exactly!

@ThrillaMozilla

Pay attention to what I actually wrote. I said "not fine enough steps", NOT "not enough steps". Not fine enough steps is a different issue from how many steps (though the issues are connected). And the former is what I questioned -- for any brand.

I actually own one of these cameras, and I have used the feature in question. It's actually fine at 1:1, although I haven't used it at higher magnification.

... Jim Kasson ...has examined focus bracketing in the Z7 (among others -- though not Canon, as far as I know) and said that he thinks that "the minimum step size is too large for critical work"....

But he didn't make any measurements on any Canon cameras, did he?
