autofocus and distance measuring
 
Can autofocus be used for an approximate distance measuring?

That's an interesting idea... Obviously it would be very inaccurate, but not a bad idea anyway...

It's a matter of knowing if we can read the focus hardware. Nice idea indeed!

Already been suggested by TiagoTiago and dismissed as non-practical. Probably in Brainstorm somewhere.

If I remember correctly, there was such a program in the "Maemo coding competition", called Metre. Here's the thread

Note: I never tried it, so I don't know how useful it is - I think it wasn't totally finished/bugfree yet, and I think development stopped after the competition... not sure though ;)
