Patented autofocus technology for digital cameras.
Digital cameras have truly revolutionized the way we capture and preserve memories, and that's what makes it all possible.
Autofocus technology.
It can be said that it is a key feature of digital cameras, making photography easier and more popular.

In 1970, autofocus technology was introduced. The first autofocus system was made of:
polaroid
Developed in 1972. The system uses an ultrasonic motor to move the lens back and forth until the image is in focus. However, the system was slow, noisy, and not widely adopted.
Here is the article ** 7gif
In 1980, autofocus technology began to gain traction. Canon introduced its first autofocus SLR camera in 1987
Canon EOS 650
The camera uses a phase-detection autofocus system that is better than the previous system.
Faster and more accurate.
Other camera manufacturers soon followed suit, and autofocus technology became a standard feature in digital cameras.
Early autofocus systems.
Slow speed and poor accuracy.
But modern systems.
Fast, accurate, and reliable.
There are now several different types of autofocus systems, including:
Phase detection, contrast detection, and hybrid autofocus.
Here is the article ** 8png
Among them, phase-detection autofocus.
It is the most common autofocus system. It uses a dedicated autofocus sensor, separate from the image sensor. The autofocus sensor measures the distance of the object and adjusts the lens accordingly. Phase-detection autofocus is fast and accurate, making it ideal for capturing fast-moving objects.
Whereas. Contrast detection autofocus.
is a newer technology that it uses.
Image sensors.
Measure contrast. The camera analyzes the image and adjusts the lens until the contrast is maximized. Contrast-detection autofocus is slower than phase-detection autofocus, but is more accurate in low-light conditions.
Here is the article ** 9png
It is a combination of phase detection and contrast detection autofocus.
Hybrid autofocus.
The camera uses two systems for fast and accurate autofocus in all lighting conditions.
Features of patents owned by different camera companies.
Companies such as Canon, Nikon, and Sony also have important patent portfolios related to autofocus technology.
Canon is a market leader in autofocus technology.
The company holds a large number of patents related to autofocus technology, including patents for phase-detection autofocus, contrast-detection autofocus, and hybrid autofocus. These techniques are used in its:
DSLR cameras. 
Mirrorless camera. And.
Compact camera above.
Here is the article ** 10jpg
Nikon has an important patent portfolio related to autofocus technology, including patents for phase-detection autofocus and contrast-detection autofocus, which can be seen on his family's DSLR and mirrorless cameras.
Sony is a new player in the autofocus technology market, but the company has quickly gained market share thanks to its innovative autofocus system. Sony's autofocus technology is used.
Mirrorless camera. These cameras are known for their fast and accurate autofocus.
There are thousands of patents related to autofocus technology, and new patents are filed every day. However, there is.
Several key patents.
shaped the industry.
Here is the article ** 11jpg
One of the most important patents related to autofocus technology was filed by Canon in 1996.
U.S. Patent No. 5,838,411
The patent covers a phase-detection autofocus system that uses an auxiliary image sensor to improve the accuracy of autofocus.
Another important patent related to autofocus technology is the United States, filed by Nikon in 2000.
Patent No. 6,498,695
The patent covers one:
Contrast detection autofocus system.
The system uses a digital signal processor to analyze the image and adjust the lens accordingly, a technology that is now widely used in mirrorless cameras today.

The main types of autofocus technology.
In fact, autofocus technology has revolutionized the world of photography, making it easier for photographers to capture clear and bright images. A key component of autofocus technology is the drive system, which is responsible for moving the lens elements to achieve focus.
Autofocus detects the contrast in the scene by using a sensor and then adjusts the focus until the contrast is maximized. There are two main types of autofocus sensors:
Phase detection and contrast detection.
Here is the article ** 13jpg
The phase-detection autofocus sensor works by splitting the light entering the lens into two separate images and then comparing them to determine the distance to the subject. Then use this information to adjust the focus until the subject is in focus.
Contrast detection: The autofocus sensor works by measuring the contrast in the scene and then adjusting the focus until the contrast is maximized. This is done by moving the lens elements back and forth until the contrast is maximized.
Here is the article ** 14jpg
There are two main types of autofocus drive systems:
Lens drive and body drive.
Lens-driven autofocus systems are also known as:
In-lens autofocus system.
As the name suggests, this system is built into the lens itself and is responsible for moving the lens elements to achieve focus, using a motor to move the lens elements back and forth until the subject is in focus. The motor is usually located inside the lens barrel and is controlled by the camera's autofocus system.
Here is the article ** 15jpg
One of the main advantages of such a system is:
Velocity. Since the motor is located in the lens itself, it can move the lens elements quickly and accurately, achieving fast and precise results.
Autofocus. This is especially useful in situations where the subject is moving quickly, such as in sports or wildlife photography.
Another advantage is:
Accuracy. It makes small but precise adjustments to the lens elements to ensure that the subject is in focus. This is especially useful when shooting with a wide aperture, where the depth of field is shallow and the focus needs to be very precise.
Here is the article ** 16jpg
Unfortunately, each lens needs to have its own motor, which can increase the cost of the lens. This is especially expensive for high-end lenses that require more advanced motors for fast and precise autofocus.
And compared to similar lenses that don't have autofocus, the lens might.
Heavier. This is especially noticeable in larger lenses, which are already heavy.
Here is the article ** 17jpg
There is also a system called.
The body drives autofocus.
This system is built into the camera body and is responsible for moving the lens elements to achieve focus. The system uses a motor located in the camera body to move the lens elements back and forth until the subject is in focus.
The main advantages of the body-driven autofocus system are:
Cost and compatibility.
The motor of this drive is also located in the camera body, and lenses without autofocus can be used with the camera's autofocus system.
It can also be used with a variety of lenses from different manufacturers, which is especially useful for photographers who have a collection of old lenses that don't have autofocus, as they can still use the camera's autofocus system.
Here is the article ** 18jpg
But this system may not be able to move the lens elements as quickly as a lens drive system, which is especially noticeable in cases where the subject moves quickly, such as in sports or wildlife photography.
It also can't make small, precise adjustments to the lens elements, which is especially noticeable when shooting with a wide aperture, where the depth of field is shallow and the focus needs to be very.
Precise. Here is the article ** 19jpg
