This is interesting... but I checked the documentation and I can't find any mention of controlling focus with autofocus lenses, which would be crucial for most interesting uses that I can think of.
- brudgers 8y agoThere's documentation here [.NET], https://api.ricoh/docs/camera-usb-sdk-dotnet/capture/ https://api.ricoh/docs/camera-usb-sdk-dotnet/capture/ In programming terms, it looks a bit like clicking the shutter.
- frostburg 8y agoThat's asking the camera to try to focus, not setting the focus remotely. I'd like the thing to work as a software focus puller for video.
- brudgers 8y agoOh, I see. I use Pentax as my primary camera. If I were serious about video, I'd probably go with a Sony or some other mirrorless system. I wouldn't try to make a DSLR work because the mirror is just in the way.
- frostburg 8y agoI don't use a Pentax, but you can't do that on a Sony either (or Canon, Nikon and actually even on most professional cinema cameras, because those typically don't have focus motors).
