Systems and techniques are described herein for focusing. For instance, a process can include obtaining a plurality of images captured based on a plurality of different exposures; obtaining a high dynamic range (HDR) map generated based on the plurality of images, wherein the HDR map indicates weights that are applicable to the plurality of different exposures for portions of an image; selecting, based on the HDR map, a first phase detection (PD) pixel data stream associated with a first exposure of the plurality of different exposures; and generating lens position information for focusing a lens based on the first PD pixel data stream for capturing a future image.
