Abstract
A method for focal adjustment of an automotive camera is disclosed. The method includes providing a target focal setting for the camera for predefined regions of interest, determining a first and second focal setting for each subset of regions of interest depending on the respective target focal settings of the regions, capturing a first and second image during the first frame period respectively. The first and second focal settings are used during at least part of the first and second frame periods respectively. Between the capturing of the first and second images, the first focal setting is changed to the second focal setting.
