Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to, for example, a method for measuring distance in order to focus at least one camera lens of a camera. In one example embodiment of the method, a wide-distance measuring system is used to measure the distance of an object and provide at least one wide measurement value, the wide-distance measuring system includes at least one microwave measuring system, and is further used to focus the camera lens, and at least one further measurement value is provided using at least one further measuring system.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a method for focusing a camera. In one embodiment, the method includes: dividing the field of view of the camera in to at least two segments: assigning, in each case, at least one operating element or at least one position of an operating element to the at least two segments; recognizing and tracking at least one object in at least two segments; automatically assigning the recognized at least two objects to the respective operating element or position of the operating element depending on which segment the objects are assigned to; and focusing the camera on the object assigned to the operating element or the position of the operating element in response to the operating element being actuated or the operating element being brought into the corresponding position.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a method for setting the focus of a film camera. In one embodiment, for example, the method includes the steps of: obtaining distance information from a measuring device arranged in a region of the film camera, the measuring device producing a real image and a depth image; setting the focus of the film camera using the obtained distance information; producing a real image which is augmented with depth information from the measuring device; and calculating the real image into the image of the film camera by means of an image transformation.
