Abstract

An example method for camera processing includes detecting a first region of interest for image content captured with a primary camera, detecting a second region of interest for image content captured with a secondary camera, comparing the first region of interest and the second region of interest, determining a first lens position for a secondary camera lens of the secondary camera based on an autofocus process for the secondary camera, determining a second lens position for the secondary camera lens of the secondary camera based on a determined lens position for a primary camera lens of the primary camera, determining a lens position for the secondary camera lens based on the first lens position or the second lens position based at least in part on the comparison, and causing the secondary camera to capture images with the secondary camera lens at the determined lens position.
