Focus stacking has become increasingly popular in recent months. With more and more cameras doing in-camera focus bracketing or focus stacking (invented by Olympus btw.), using multiple images with different focus points that are later combined into a final image using different stacking programs are being used way more often.
In this video I (Wolf Amri aka Wolfgang Amri) explain how to do focus stacking and what the difference is between in-camera stacking and the use of a (dedicated) slider, in this case the miops slider+ (miops slider plus).
