Synopsis

Functions

Detailed Description

For cameras that support autofocusing, in order for a camera to autofocus on part of a sensor frame, it considers different zones within the frame. Which zones to use, and where the zones are located vary between different cameras.

This class exposes what zones are used by a particular camera, and a list of the zones can be retrieved by a QCameraFocus instance.

You can use this information to present visual feedback - for example, drawing rectangles around areas of the camera frame that are in focus, or changing the color of a zone as it comes into focus.

focus->setFocusPointMode(QCameraFocus::FocusPointAuto);
const QList<QCameraFocusZone> zones = focus->focusZones();
for (const QCameraFocusZone &zone : zones) {
    if (zone.status() == QCameraFocusZone::Focused) {
        // Draw a green box at zone.area()
    } else if (zone.status() == QCameraFocusZone::Selected) {
        // This area is selected for autofocusing, but is not in focus
        // Draw a yellow box at zone.area()
    }
}

Return type:

bool

Returns true if this focus zone has a valid area and status.

PySide2.QtMultimedia.QCameraFocusZone.__eq__(other)
Parameters:

otherPySide2.QtMultimedia.QCameraFocusZone

Return type:

bool

Returns true if this focus zone is the same as other .

PySide2.QtMultimedia.QCameraFocusZone.setStatus(status)
Parameters:

statusFocusZoneStatus

Sets the current status of this focus zone to status .
