[Feature request] Change Focus While Recording

hpscott

While setting up a Project, before I start recording, I can tap on the screen to select a region for where the phone will autofocus. Once I start the recording, however, it doesn't seem as though I can change the region for autofocus -- touching the screen does not appear to affect focus. While doing a time-lapse recording of seedling growth, for example, I'd like to be able to change the autofocus spot as the seedling grows. Is this possible?

hpscott welcome to the forum 👋

Yes, after you begin the capture, the focus is locked intentionally to prevent accidental taps from changing the focus (you can imagine how an accidental change of focus could ruin a running time-lapse). So, this isn't currently possible.

In the next update, during capture double-tapping the screen will allow you to set the focus point.

That makes sense, and I will look forwrad to the next update. Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.
