Got a problem with the camera on my phone.. HELP!
 

I can't disable the damn auto-focus on my phone.

I can shoot 4k video without effort but this F** damn auto-focus makes the camera useless.
It's like breathing in-and-out each time I shoot with it. I could make this problem go away
if only I could lock the aperture!

Unfortunately after reading the instructions and literally clicking every menu option and
control possible it appears there's no way to disable auto-focus or lock the aperture.

When you're in the camera app, try pressing and holding in the middle of the picture. It might pulse for a second, then take your finger off, then auto focus might be turned off.

It would help if we knew what kind of phone it is, too. :upsidedow

Not your phone model, but might be of use?

Thanks ! It seems to have fixed the problem.

All those jokes I made 10 years ago about the public wanting to see garbage shot with a
phone and here I am doing exactly that.
