A method of focusing a camera with a movable field of view includes obtaining a current field of view setting corresponding to a current field of view of the camera, retrieving, based on the obtained current field of view setting, focusing data pertaining to the focusing method that was previously used to focus the camera for a previous field of view, at least partly overlapping the obtained current field of view, by accessing a focusing assisting database comprising a plurality of camera focusing entries. wherein each camera focusing entry includes a respective previous field of view setting, corresponding to a respective previous field of view and thereto associated focusing data pertaining to the focusing method that was previously used to focus the camera for the respective previous field of view.
