Can the M200 do focus stacking?

You can focus stack with any EOS camera by using the Camera Connect phone app, or EOS Utility app on your laptop (tethered via USB).

I use EOS Utility which is a phantastic software. However, I have to do the stacking manually. If you could elaborate how to do automatic stacking I would be very grateful.

Edit: Not every EOS camera can be tethered. The M200 can, the M100 not.

You have me there, I haven't tried it, only read about it. My understanding is that all you need is to tether the camera and use an autofocus lens. I intend to try it with my M5 but I also have other non-M bodies (80D, 5D4, R) and several lenses to try it. Here's an article describing how to do it, seems fairly straightforward:

Thanks. Unfortunately the process described in your link is how I do it. It is simple and easy to bracket 10-20 images. But very time consuming and boring for more.

Anyway, I am glad at least it can be done in a way.

My guess is that you can hope for automatic bracketing on the R.

I found an android app that can do automatic focus bracketing with an M200. You need an OTG cable to tether the camera. It can do up to 100 images with predefined steps.

The app is called "Camera Connect and Control" and has a free 3 day fully functional trial version.

Will do some more testing now.
