Abstract
A method of determining a focus setting for an image capture device. The method comprises, for each of a plurality of image zones: obtaining a first value of a focus metric for the respective image zone using a first image captured with a first focus setting for the image capture device; obtaining a second value of the focus metric for the respective image zone using a second image captured with a second focus setting for the image capture device; and processing the first value and the second value to obtain an estimated focus setting for the respective image zone. The focus setting is determined by performing a weighted sum of the estimated focus setting for at least two of the plurality of image zones.
