How does a camera focus automatically?

Hey guyz, In this blog I will be discussing with you
HOW A CAMERA FOCUSES AUTOMATICALLY

In the split second between the pressing of the shutter release and the opening of the shutter, an automatic camera measures the distance between the lens and the subject and positions the lens to give sharp focus.
                                                         Most compact cameras have a tiny electric motor driving a transmitter that emits a beam of infrared light.The transmitter is linked to the lens , which moves in or out as the beam scans – focusing from near to far. The beam reflects back from objects to the camera , and stops the transmitter when the strongest signal shows that the lens is in focus. This automatically triggers the shutter.
                                                     Some instant cameras have ultrasonic focusing similar to the echolocation scanning system bats use to navigate. A gold-plated disc(the transducer) sends out ‘chirps’ too high to be heard by human ears, each lasting 1/1000th of a second. The disc receives the chirp echoes from the subject, time each chirp takes to go out and come back. From this it calculates the distance to the subject.
                                                SLR(single-lens reflex) cameras with an auto-focus use what is known as an electronic phase detection system. In this , light entering through the lens, is separated into two images. A sensor measures the distance between the two images, which are a specific distance apart when the lens is in focus. If the distance is not correct, the sensor causes a motor to move the lens.
                                                                                                                              Thanks

Python 2.7.13 Beginner's Guide

Hey Guys!I will be providing you the Python 2.7.13 tutorial in 3 parts! Here is the First Part! The Python 2.7.13 Tutorial Python is an easy to learn, powerful programming language. It has efficient high-level data structures and a simple but effective approach to object-oriented programming. Python’s elegant syntax and dynamic typing, together with its interpreted nature, make it an ideal language for scripting and rapid application development in many areas on most platforms. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are freely available in source or binary form for all major platforms from the Python Web site, https://www.python.org/ , and may be freely distributed. The same site also contains distributions of and pointers to many free third party Python modules, programs and tools, and additional documentation. The Python interpreter is easily extended with new functions and data types implemented in C or C++ (or other languages callable from C). Python...
