Abstract:
1. A camera, comprising: a depth-sensing lens, an auto-focusing apparatus, and a display screen; at least one microprocessor; and a storage device for storing one or more computer-readable programs, which when executed by the at least one microprocessor, cause the at least one microprocessor to: drive the auto-focusing apparatus to move the depth-sensing lens aiming at a scene, and show images of one or more objects in the scene on the display screen; determine a focusing position of the depth-sensing lens when an object is selected from the scene shown on the display screen; sense a depth between the object in the scene and the camera using the depth-sensing lens; determine a distance between the object in the scene and the focusing position of the depth-sensing lens; calculate an optimal focus of the camera according to the depth and the distance; drive the auto-focusing apparatus to move the depth-sensing lens from the focusing position of the depth-sensing lens to the optimal focus of the camera; and controlling the depth-sensing lens to capture an image of the scene based on the optimal focus of the camera when a button of the camera is pressed.
