Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for image focusing for devices including multiple cameras. An example method includes estimating a focus distance associated with an image captured by a first camera, determining, based at least in part on the estimated focus distance, to switch from the first camera to a second camera, switching from the first camera to the second camera, completing a focusing operation using the second camera and presenting an updated image captured by the second camera.
