Right way up again
I was pondering how to get didgscoped shots in focus with what I've got (see depth of focus post) and wondered if I played about with the autofocus system in the camera, would I be able to make the camera control the scope?
If I put a jack in the side of the camera that can disconnect the internal camera autofocus (when plugged in) and instead make it control a small motor attached to the focussing ring of the scope, would it work if I set the camera to the 'infinity' setting?
I can now hear a few of you asking 'why don't you buy some better gear' to which the simple answer is 'I'm broke'. I reckon the parts cost would be about ~£10 from Maplins.
Just wondered if anyone else had tried this sort of thing before.
