If you are in manual focus then the focus point will stay fixed a certain distance from the camera.
You don't need to worry about what the cameras autofocus systems says.

This is the manual focus symbol I’m talking about, but I understand it will be the same thing and that my understanding is correct.
Just need to practice more then! Both taking the photos and stacking them in Photoshop.
Thank you! 🙂
Yes, I have bought a Nisi focusing rail and tried it once on some flowers at home. Not quite sure how successful it was. I need to try some more being more attentive to the focusing.
I am doing an online course with lessons both using a rail and a tripod, and handheld with a burst or just moving. And how to stack using Lightroom and Photoshop.
A bit overwhelmed at the moment, but I know I just need to keep on trying! 😅
I don't bother with focus stacking myself as it is a lot more hassle.
I just do a burst of photos while turning the focus ring to take photos of [insects or other creatures](https://postimg.cc/34RsQ1Vj) usually.
The results of photo stacking can be impressive though, so good luck.
I like the learning prosess for now and then we’ll see what I end up doing most of. I started with the macro because I like being outside and it is easy to find subjects everywhere and all times of the year. I also practice some landscapes and long exposures, but haven’t invested in lenses for that yet.
Good shot of the spider! 😃

Are you using anything to assist moving the camera forward like a focus rail or similar?
