Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a low-light autofocus technique. One example embodiment includes a method. The method includes receiving an indication of a low-light condition for a camera system. The method also includes determining an extended exposure time for a low-light autofocus procedure of the camera system. Further, the method includes capturing, by the camera system, an extended frame for the low-light autofocus procedure. The extended frame is captured by die camera system using the determined extended exposure time. In addition, the method includes determining, based on the captured extended frame, an in-focus lens setting for a lens of the camera system.
