Thank you, that's helpful. I start manually to see what comes into focus first, and then autofocus there so the camera can do its thing, but it keeps overriding me. I'll keep practicing and I think I might use something for the camera to focus on.

I really wish there was an automatic way to focus bracket the entire focus length!

You don't need to autofocus anything, you only need AF on so the camera can drive the lens.

Focus manually to a place just out of focus but in front of where you want your bracket to start, then you'll always have a slice that has the start of the object (unless your slices are too deep or not frequent enough.)

You just throw away those slices in later when you stack.
