SGP auto focus how does it work?

Yes, that is how it works. More info can be found here:

Essentially in the AF area you tell SGP to use LUM. Or if you want to do it on a per filter basis you can set this up in the Filter Settings Dialog.

Red Highlight - Shows where to set the focus filter for that particular filter. This is useful if you want to focus with your RGB filters BUT use Lum for Narrowband.

Blue Highlight - Shows the “focus point” for each filter. These should be considered a “starting” point for focus but in when the “Auto Adjust Focus Per Filter” option is used these values are treated as offsets.

I would highly recommend checking out the Auto Focus section of our help docs:

Particularly:

  • Auto Focus\Understanding Auto Focus
  • Auto Adjust Focus Per Filter

Some info here on determining offsets:
