Im running out of ideas. i have been trying to get the getUserMedia dynamically to select macro camera or atleast focus. Im making barcode(ean) reader and if i put barcode close to camera then I don't get any focusing.
async function startCamera() {
try {
if (videoStream) {
videoStream.getTracks().forEach(track => track.stop());
}
videoStream = await navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({
video: {
facingMode: {exact: "environment"},
focusMode: {ideal: "continuous"}
}
});
const $videoElement = $("#camera-feed");
$videoElement[0].srcObject = videoStream;
$videoElement.on("loadedmetadata", function () {
this.play();
$(".scanning-line").fadeIn(300).addClass("scan-active");
$videoElement.css({ opacity: 1, transform: "scale(1)" }).fadeIn();
startScanner();
});
} catch (err) {
$(".scanning-line").fadeOut(300);
}
}
I tried using AI help but It does not give any good ideas to try, most of them I have tried and failed.

Reset to default 0There is no way to get camera to focus or use macro camera, but what did work was setting the zoom value to 3. It uses the main camera but "seems" like a macro camera.
