Shooting control method and shooting control device

A shooting control device for a shooting control system, the shooting control system comprising a handheld gimbal and a follow focus motor, the handheld gimbal comprising a bearing base to carry a shooting equipment and a handheld portion, the handheld portion comprising a first interaction device, and the follow focus motor meshed with a follow focus ring of a lens of the shooting equipment, the shooting control device comprising:

• a memory and processing circuitry;
• wherein the memory is configured to store instructions;
• and
• the processing circuitry is configured to call the instructions stored in the memory to:
• detect a first focus confirmation operation of a user on the first interactive device when a shooting target is in focus in a shooting image of the shooting equipment and a distance between the shooting target and the shooting equipment is a first distance;
• in response to the first focusing confirmation operation, record a first measured distance between the shooting equipment and the shooting target collected by a distance sensor and a first measured rotation position of the follow focus motor;
• detect a second focus confirmation operation of the user on the first interactive device when the shooting target is in focus in the shooting image of the shooting equipment and the distance between the shooting target and the shooting equipment is a second distance;
• in response to the second focus confirmation operation, record a second measured distance between the shooting equipment and the shooting target collected by the distance sensor and a second measured rotation position of the follow focus motor;
• acquire a real-time measured distance between the shooting equipment and the shooting target collected by the distance sensor;
• and
• control the follow focus motor to drive the lens to focus so that the shooting target is in focus in the shooting image of the shooting equipment according to the first measured distance, the first measured rotation position, the second measured distance, the second measured rotation position, and the real-time measured distance.
