Focus Distance Issue

 

Hello,

I have calibrated camera with zoom and focus. I have added focus distance in meters in calibration process, like lens encoder value 0 - 1000m, or value 2.4(max) 0m (and multiple values between the two points).

I can see the focus value is changing in camera tracking node

But in unreal tracked camera node camera focus(i guess this is distance?) never changes.

For example when I put focus on really close object, the virtual environment is not out of focus.



What Im doing wrong, here?

Hi,

The Focus Sensor pin of the Camera Tracking module returns the raw focus data from your tracking system. The calibrated focus value is transmitted through the Focus Distance pin, which uses meters as the unit of measurement:

You might be encountering issues because there are multiple ways to read the focus value in the INPUT panel.
You should ensure that the Manual Lens and External Lens Data options are turned off in the INPUT panel:
