Programmable/Controllable camera (USB) with Full Focus Control
Any recommendations on digital cameras that can be accessed and controlled fully through the remote (USB) port, including full focus control? Info on open source C/C++ SDK's would be very helpful too. I am fairly new on the subject. Thanks, Ben |

Hi Ben,

Info on open source C/C++ SDK's would be very helpful too. I am fairly new on the subject. I am not aware of any digital camera driver with focus control but why not use a CCD camera? Fingerlakes makes some all right cameras and the source-code availab driver can be compiled (and works) at least with Linux. I have not tested the BSD or Win version of the drivers. focus control could be achieved with a tiny additional program which reads the frame, does a Gaussian and tries to adjust the focus depending on the FWHM change (minimising the FWHM in both perpendicular axis). Cheers, Thomas |
