More Information
Summary:A system for focusing an imaging device according to a focal distance setting and methods for making and using same. The focal distance setting can be an infinite focal distance setting for objects that are far away from the imaging device. Focusing of the imaging device can be triggered by activation of a button for "one-touch" rapid focusing. The focusing, for example, can be triggered at a terminal that is distal from the imaging device through an app and suitable user interface. The focal distance setting can be determined by interaction via the app, which can present a prompt to direct the imaging device to an object at a suitable distance. Once determined, the focal distance setting can be stored and later retrieved for rapid focusing. The present system and methods advantageously can be used aboard a mobile platform such as an unmanned aerial vehicle.
