Yes, the built in focus stacking in R7 is amazing. This is one of the reason I bought the EOS R7. My first focus stacking trial was to take a photo of a AAA battery . I took 20 shots using focus stacking and 1 normal shot for comparison.

Conditions

Environment : Indoor subdue light

Camera and lens : EOS R7 / EF 100mm f/2.8L macro

Tripod / Handheld : Handheld

Object : AAA Energizer battery, 44.5mm x 10.5mm

Photos : almost uncropped

Focus Stack : 20 shots, f/4 1/125s ISO 1600

Unstack photo : 1 shot, f/10 1/80s ISO 6400

Files : C-Raw

Workflow : focus stacked by DPP, export to 16 bit TIFF file, denoised by Topaz Denoise AI and convert to jpg file. Copy EXIF data from original file to the focus stacked jpg file using Exifer.

1. Focus stacked photo

2. Single shot photo

My conclusions

The focus stacking function is excellent and no post edit for individual files were needed.

High ISO was avoided by using focus stacking, so a better image was obtained.
