tried clicking pictures with d settings and its awesome...!
I am wondering is there is any way that we could control the focus of the camera manually "not like touch to focus" like when we do zooming instead of it will change the focus so it give us stable focus on that point!!
I hope my idea is clear!!
it looks like there is no hope!!

I think he meant that instead of zooming while pressing the volume up and down buttons, that the camera should refocus, like it does when you tap the screen.

You can use the camera button to focus
I take pictures on manual mode all the time and that means pictures in low light with less noise
About the focusing, just press the camera button a little bit and then your phone will focus, if you don't like the focus just let the button go and try again while holding the phone slightly different with light source etc, then you can really make nice pictures

hey guys I know about this, what am talking about is to have the control of the focus!! once you press on the screen it will ""auto"" focus on that point!! but I want to control the degree of the focus like professional cameras!!

You can't.
may be , we can control it by using custom driver for camera.
as in SE k850 , it has manual focus by using custom camdrive.
or, anyone can make app that make manual focus possible ?
I've used some phone from Japan, mainly from Sharp, and all of them have manual focus. It's extremely convenient, especialy when you need to capture something in close distance, like die-casts. They run on customized Symbian, so IMO, Symbian has some driver/libs to support manual focus
I don't know if new Android phones sold locally in Japan can manual focus or not, since I haven't had a chance to take a look of them. But I think Android platform can support that, because the stock Gingerbread ROM on Optimus 2X has manual focus.
manual focus
has any other phone having this option?

Motorola launch new app for manual focus. Find on google but unfortunately it does work on my phone. I don't know why.
Hello all,
i was wondering if there is a mod for controlling the camera focus manually using some keys, eg: volume up/down,
because the AF always gets wrong for my macro shots..
hope my question is clear..
Please suggest any option available..
alas, NOBODY, even UNDERSTANDS what i am TALKING about... :silly:
In the same boat...

I understand exactly what you are talking about! I'm currently looking for the same kind of app. I can see that my phone can focus a lot closer than it realises. "Marco Mode" Sometimes helps but still... not ideal. If I find a solution, I'll repost here.
I am getting really frustrated with the auto-focus "feature" on this phone. Is there any way to disable it so I can actually focus on what I want to take a picture of? Some sort of macro mode would be super helpful. Is there a setting somewhere that I missed?
Do you have the options on the screen when you take a photo? Otherwise, just tap on your target to take the picture with them/it in focus. Otherwise, use the Magic Focus feature to adjust focus after the picture is taken.
Aside from that, to do manual focus, you'll have to use another app, like Focal or any other camera app.

Put the camera in the mode where the shutter is on the side. Then you just tap on whatever you want to focus on in the screen, it focuses than you hit the shutter button.

Oh yeah! Derp!
Idk. But u must try focal app for more difficult shots. It gives tons of exposure zoom and filter options.
Okay, I finally got it. Thanks very much. At first I was never leaving it in "option" mode, I would always go back out of it before taking pictures. I totally missed this until you mentioned it.
To clarify in case anyone else is unclear:
-click the "3 dots" button at the top of the camera screen to open up the options mode.
-In addition to the various mode, settings, etc. buttons at the top, there will also be a shutter button at the bottom.
-In this mode, the shutter button will take the picture, and touching anywhere else will create a focal point.
I went all through the pdf manual and didn't see anything at all about this.
Too dark if i have even a bit light in front of camera
Still cant find a good option to make a photo when i have even a bit light towards me. It shows totally dark at the shadow part. Exposure doesnt go as i want. Does it have also a Manual Focus?

I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but if you tap the three-dot so that the options come up, wherever you tap on the screen I believe is where it'll focus on, then use the camera button at the bottom to take the picture.

I know what u mean but still doesnt make a big difference about focusing when i want. And i meant...exposure. If there is a tree in nature and is sunny weather and under the tree is dark coz of shadow...and i want to focus exposure in that dark part...coz there is a flower or a rabbit...this exposure doesnt work. I dont mind if the tree becomes overexposured. I hope u understand me. Thank u for replying.

If the manually choosing where to focus in the stock camera app isn't doing the job, I'd try a third-party camera app. It sucks it won't use the laser focus but there's a chance a more professional app would do the job. At least if you buy a good app you can test it right away and refund it quickly (limit was 15 minutes but it might've increased again - I can't keep track). Good luck! I'm sure we'll all appreciate your findings if you experiment. You're welcome!

I tried some 3rd part apps but still not satisfied. Too many unnecessary options and fake sometime. Anyway...thank u a lot. Hugs and enjoy ur time.
I am really hoping you can touch to focus on video on the new 1 III model... If someone can confirm/deny I would be grateful.
In any way, uploading the stock camera .apk would be helpful for everyone curious to try it on other xperia devices.
There you go
You can touch to focus or manually focus during recording in the cinema pro app which is focussed on video capturing and editing.
However auto focus during recording didn't work too well in a quick first try. It just couldn't get a hold of the sharp point. But maybe I did something wrong or this will be fixed.
Manual focus however is a dream - wouldn't wan't anything else. You can even preset 2 focus levels and automatically switch between them.
I just downloaded this to my Xperia 5 ii it works I like how they made the basic mode and still have the other options

hi liggerz87, can you tell me if this new version of the app allows to launch the Camera with the dedicated physical button?
If you hit the camera button it pulls up the normal app but you can use the double power button tap to open it by default that way
Also someone made a macro that works only prob you can't use the standard camera app and it disables it
