And, in theory, it should put all other on-chip autofocus systems like Sony’s Phase-Detection and Canon’s Dual Pixel AF well into the obsolete category.īut Ian has already figured out a way to do it with the Pocket 4K using a sensor that sits on top of the camera and talks wirelessly with the camera via Bluetooth. It’s a very clever idea, and as 43Rumors reports, there are even rumours that Panasonic may implement it in future cameras. It works in conjunction with CDA-TEK’s Pocket Bluetooth Controller (PBC) for the Pocket 4K – which should be coming to a crowdfunding site sometime in the coming months. ![]() This completely bypasses the camera’s internal autofocus system and allows focus commands to be sent continuously while shooting. Then it sends this distance data to the camera basically telling it “Hey, set your focus distance to this”. ![]() From this, it can calculate the distance. It sends out a signal and times how long it takes for it to bounce back off the target and come back to the sensor. ![]() Time of Flight cameras essentially use something like LiDAR or other sensors to judge the distance to an object – whatever it is that you want to focus on.
