    Hi, maybe I didn't see the setting, but I was looking around for 15 minutes in the settings to see if this is possibe. I'm trying to use my phone as a facecam for some recording, so I want to focus it, and leave it set at that focus. I don't want it refocusing whenever it feels the inclination to do that.

    I've heard there's a way to set a manual focus, but I can't see it. Is there a way to prevent the video from refocusing? Thanks.

      On the popup menu there are options for locked focus (padlock icon) and manual focus ("m"). Manual focus requires Settings/"Use Camera2 API" to be enabled, and that isn't supported on all devices.

      Note you'll have to switch to video mode first then change the focus mode. There's a bug where the focus mode for video isn't remembered, this will be fixed in the next version.
