Canon 600D and Focus Stacking (by Magic Lantern)

Hello everyone,

I have an "old" Canon 600D/T3i with Magic Lantern firmware and I would like to use it (in conjunction with the good Sigma 105 Macro DG) for macro photography with the focus stacking technique. Unfortunately, although I have read / watched more than one tutorial, I still don't really understand how it works and every time I try to use it, there is always something that I cannot control.
I would kindly like to know how to:
- Set the closest point
- Set the furthest point
- Set the step-size and / or the number of shots.

If someone of goodwill could explain it to me in a simple way, I would be very grateful to them.

Ciao.

Toni
