Abstract:
A method synchronizes autofocus in a system having a master camera and a slave camera. The method comprises: focusing the slave camera based on a map and a result of an autofocus operation by the master camera, while capturing each of a plurality of images. The map relates a plurality of master camera lens positions of the master camera to corresponding slave camera lens positions of the slave camera. An autofocus operation is periodically performed in the slave camera to determine an additional slave camera lens position for an additional image. The map is adaptively updated, based at least partially on the additional slave camera lens position.

Claim (Index 8):
The method for synchronizing autofocus in a system according to  claim 1 , wherein the master camera and the slave camera are configured so that the master camera and the slave camera have a same or substantially same azimuth angle as each other and a same or substantially same elevation angle as each other, where the azimuth and elevation angles are measured relative to a reference direction.
