Continuous video focus mode

[the-information-guy]

Hey,

I am trying to set the continuous video focus mode (autofocus) on ahcsrc

So far, can't get it working with each of the following :

g_object_set (ahc->ahcsrc, GST_PHOTOGRAPHY_PROP_FOCUS_MODE, 7, NULL);
g_object_set (ahc->ahcsrc, GST_PHOTOGRAPHY_PROP_FOCUS_MODE, GST_PHOTOGRAPHY_FOCUS_MODE_CONTINUOUS_EXTENDED, NULL);

Any idea ? :)

Thanks

The feature is mapped to FOCUS_MODE_CONTINUOUS_VIDEO. According to the API doc, if autofocus is enabled, the focus is locked.

Did you check whether it works if auto focus is cancelled before calling it? You might need to call gst_photography_set_autofocus with FALSE to cancel autofocus.

If it doesn't work even after cancelling auto focus, please file a bug on bugzilla.

Assuming ahc->ahcsrc is the GstPhotography* element used as param in the set_autofocusmethod :

gst_photography_set_autofocus(ahc->ahcsrc, FALSE);
g_object_set(ahc->ahcsrc, GST_PHOTOGRAPHY_PROP_FOCUS_MODE, GST_PHOTOGRAPHY_FOCUS_MODE_CONTINUOUS_EXTENDED, NULL);

That is still not auto focusing by itself
