If you click the camera shutter button it will auto-focus on what it thinks is the focal point of the image, that's auto focus.

The autofocus in the camera is annoying as hell. It keeps readjusting itself and when it reaches the point of sharpness it goes back to blurry. Now my question is - is there a way to make it hold the proper focus, or set it manually? Or is there an alternative camera app with these functions?

In recent weeks i've also searched a solution to the problem but nowadays i think's it's not possible, it's an Android limitation.
Look at here

Just got my red N5 and ive noticed the same thing more or less. its like if i click the shutter button it will focus then unfocus at the last second before taking the picture. other times it just doesnt like to focus lol. id say that probably half of my photos come out burry. I know when the N5 first launched it had camera issuesbut i was under the impression that those were fixed for the most part.

Press and hold the shutter button should cause it to hold the focus. You can then release it to take a picture.
How to old a "proper" focus however, I have no idea.
You can tap to set your target focus. It will continue to auto adjust as it sees fit, however.
I've always had issues getting cell phone cameras to focus because of how easily they can shake but the OIS seems to help me get a good focus for 2/3 HDR+ pictures.
If you're using HDR+ it needs to stay still for a longer period of time.
I'm using the default camera app on Beanstalk and I've also installed the 4.4 camera app but I experienced the same issue.
I don't even have the option to use HDR on the main camera and I've looked through the settings, but can't find anything relating to it.
By HDR mode I mean the front camera takes several pictures with different exposures and merges them together, it's annoying because it takes about 2 seconds and you must hold camera perfectly still to get it not to be blurry.
If I use the front camera while using Snapchat I do not have any issues. Any idea what could be causing this? How else should troubleshoot?
Have any solutions to let the camera (Movie mode) able to use Touch Focus?
It just Auto focus, but I would like to select the point by Touch Focus.:good:
I tried to install G3's stock camera, but it does't work.
Hello everyone,
Is burst mode available on the XZP? I cannot seem to find it, even though "Timeshift Burst", which I believe was Sony's burst mode in older devices, seems to be installed according to the Play Store.
it's been replaced by Predictive Capture which you can enable in camera settings and which will trigger automatically when the phone detects movement while you're focusing camera and preparing for taking a pic.

I noticed that feature kick in a couple times, however it is nowhere as convenient as a manually operated function in most scenarios. Is there any way I can manually take a burst of pictures or am I out of luck?
Has anyone else also noticed photos come out with weird, massively boosted brightness and everything when taken with 2x zoom or higher on stock camera? Strange thing is even at 1.9x zoom everything is fine but 2x and beyond the photo is basically ruined because of this. Very annoying.
HDR and other enhancements are turned off, yet this occurs.
Doesn't happen on GCam. Any idea/solutions? Thanks
Tried here. No issue. And 2x zoom photo from stock cam was better than GCam 8.3 for me.
Didi you activate HDR and IA options in stock cam?
Yes they're all deactivated. No problem upto 1.9x zoom, but as soon as 2x zoom is engaged, there's a sudden although small change on viewfinder white balance. And final photos look extremely bright and noisy compared to 1.9x and below, as if some weird filter is put on. I've downgraded the camera but still happens.
Btw, bootloader is unlocked, not sure if that's got anything to do with it.
Its interesting if you don't have this problem. What's ur software channel and build number? Thanks
Without this bug, you'll generally get better zoomed images on stock camera because it'll use 64mp crop instead of only 16mp recognized by GCam. But this bug ruins it.
Unzoomed though, GCam's HDR+ is still the best.
Just discovered this thread.
Yes, I have the same problem. But it looks like the effect is not the same everytime. Maybe depending on light (indoors vs. outdoors)?
I noticed it happens when i zoom in in worse scenes. It could be that the automatic camera mode is overcompensating by cranking the iso way too high. Have you tried using the pro camera mode?

Yes, but I don't think pro mode uses 64mp crop like auto mode, just a crop of 16mp, which doesn't have much detail that's required during zoom. Also it's annoying trying to switch to pro mode everytime.
