A different way to make macro shots on Mi 11 Ultra

[maravilha00]

Due to the fact that there's no macro lens on the 11 Ultra, shots made with digital 2x zoom on main wide lens are not that perfect. Recently I thought: what if I use the video 8K option, fix the focus on closest distance possible (about 10 cm) and start filming during few seconds while moving slowly forth and back ?!
Once done I opened the app Google Foto to edit the video, then I look for the best focus within the video and lastly click on "Export frame". The result is a photo resolution of 7680x4320 pixels. I then crop it into 4:3 photo format. This results in 5765x4320pixels. If i crop further, say to 2 third of the diagonal I still obtain a pic of roughly 4000x3000 pixels.
I join the original pics, the first 2 flowers are both 5765x4320 and the 3rd is 3973x2981 (nearly 4000x3000 ).
Let me know if you think these results are crisp enough as "macro shots".
Thanks for comments & eventual suggestions.

This is a great idea!

Thank you for sharing. Mi 11 Ultra cam is still absolutely amazing. I love it!

The first shot is not the best, but the other two ones are really good. If you let them run through an AI-Sharpener (if you know what you are doing), you get proffessional results.

I will try your idea myself. The possibility to choose between so many shots, taken within seconds, is cool.
