Autofocus camera
Posted: Sun Sep 25, 2022 10:32 am
Hello,
I am new to this community, just received my StereoPi v2 camera kit.
I am into the stereoscopic photography. Until now I used an "own" method to capture stereo photos of moving objects. I used two smartphones and made series of shots by holding shot buttom for some seconds on both phones at the same time. Afterwards, I selected the perfectly matching photos of the two phones from the e.g. 30 photo series, which generally resulted in a well sincronized stereophoto (even for e.g. water waves... , afterwards i postprocessed it with android "3d steroid pro" app). The real pain was the difficult handling of the two phones, and long postprocessing (selectimg matching photos...). In the pro side is that i had high quality, versatile, and ready to shoot cameras (in the sence that i did not have to focus those), and i could adjust the stereobase.
My aim would be something similar and more with this device, wihout the above described cons. Therefore i would like an autofocus, smarphone like camera pair.
My question would be whether one of these could be used with all of the functions including autofocus on stereopi v2?

Is there a possibility to use smartphone as controller touchscreen and use autofocus, and redirect autofocus by tap, when it is needed?
As I see from my test shots, for videos maybe the bigger fov (e.g. the 160) is more optimal for a more natural, more immersed feeling, but for the pictures the fov80 is more natural. Does it make sence to you? Or for videos actually i see a smaller fov image in the sereovideo? What is your opinion on this?
And do you think is there any possibility to have two pairs of cameras installed (e.g. a bigger fov and a smaller fov) and switch back and forth between them on the fly (e.g. with a switch, quicky between shots?
Sorry for the long post, but I am really enthusiast about this StereoPi V2 camera kit, and I would like to tailor it to perfectly match my plans.
Many thanks for the development and availability of this excellent device!
