calculates lens positions to be tried in the second scan from its 2 user-set parameters
and the position found best in the first scan. The calculation takes into account where
that position is relative to the limits of the lens motion range and how it would be
reached if the second scan were not enabled. If the user-selected way to reach it includes
the second flyback, the AF driver assumes that the start position of the second scan must
likewise be reached not directly from end position of the first scan, but via logical posi-
tion 0, the default start position of that scan. An extra zero is therefore put at the begin-
ning of the list of positions calculated for the second scan—unless this list already starts
with logical position 0. If the second flyback is not enabled, no extra zero is prepended to
the list. In every case, the list is then appended to the list of positions already scanned in
the first scan. The combined list cannot have more than 20 entries, due to fixed 20-byte
size of memory buffer used by the AF driver to store lens positions. This means that the
first scan of, say, 15 positions can be followed by a flyback to 0 and second scan of no
more than 4 non-zero positions or, alternatively, a second scan of up to 5 non-zero posi-
tions if the second flyback is not enabled. In both cases, the 2 unidirectional scans can
be also seen as a single scan with 2 changes of direction. If the lens actuator has signifi-
cant hysteresis, the effect of those changes should be carefully considered. The only way
to alleviate it is to do the flyback to 0 prior to the second change.
The second scan is always followed by the user-selected final positioning sequence that
in the absence of the second scan would follow the first scan, e.g. a flyback to the start
position of the latter and a jump to the position found best in the former.
