Recording pictures with different focus positions (Focus BKT)

The camera varies focus over a series of pictures. You choose the amount and the number of shots. The entire series is shot with a single press of the shutter button. Each time the shutter button is pressed all the way down, the camera takes the selected number of shots, varying focus with each shot. The pictures are taken in silent mode using the electronic shutter.
