autofocus
Autofocus is a feature found in many types of imaging devices like cameras and optical systems, that automatically adjusts the focus of the device to keep the subject or object in sharp, clear view. This is usually achieved through a combination of different sensors, algorithms and motor systems, making necessary adjustments based on aspects like distance from the subject, light conditions, or movement.

Autofocus
An autofocus optical system uses a sensor, a control system and a motor to focus fully automatic or on a manually selected point or area. An electronic rangefinder has a display instead of the motor; the adjustment of the optical system has to be done manually until indication. The methods are named by the used sensor: Active, passive and hybrid.
