ABSTRACT:
An integrated 2D/3D camera system may include a 2D camera and a 3D camera affixed to the 2D camera. The 2D camera may include a first lens that is lens adjustable to set a 2D focus distance. The 3D camera may include a left camera and a right camera including respective left and right lenses, the left and right lenses synchronously adjustable to set a 3D focus distance. A focus mechanism may automatically set the 2D focus distance and the 3D focus distance to be essentially equal by one of adjusting the first lens based on the 3D focus distance and synchronously adjusting the left and right lenses based on the 2D focus distance.
