You can find the C code for these functions here:

Don't forget what the H stands for.

@Nando

What is your graph with the vertical bars showing and can you explain the parameters used ?

Are they real values * 1000 ?

Please explain the formula you are using in greater detail.

Hello,

@reyalp
thanks for the link, i take a look! :)
Let's see if I can find a starting point.

@Microfunguy
I try to explain.
DOF is growing with distance. So I use an exponential function to set the focus.
Redundant focus, I would like to leave out.

g=f+(d*(i^5)/(10^5)+i)*10*b

g = next focus
f = current focus
i (i=1 to a) = number off shoot
b = multiple of the step size
d = rise of function

I hope it is understandable.

bye,
Nando

Yes, but  required focus-step depends on initial focus, aperture and focal length.

With SDM, this feature is built-in, you do not need a script.
In fact, I am testing a new version right now that tells you how far to move the camera to create stereo focus stacks,
(if you want to test it, contact me directly).

You can also log the focus positions.
