is there a way to disable Face Detection Auto focus
it just won't lock the subject as sharp and as good as the laser one
pic came out not too sharp

Can the camera outfocus be hacked to allow the user full control? I hate that the camera sometimes focuses in on something and it's perfectly sharp and then it continues to focus and takes a pic and it doesn't come out as sharp. Can we control focus somehow or turn it off? Some of the barcode scanner apps suck on evo cuz of the autofocus. Just curious.
Not sure if it is fully what you mean, but I have noticed that if you touch the screen on your desired point of focus, it will focus there rather than just focus on the center of the screen.
i bought 2 Galaxy Note II at the same store. They both have some software, etc. One is able to detect face when camera is launched but not the other unit. camera settings on both units are exactly the same... this is really driving me crazy... the default face detection is a big plus. can someone shed some light on this????? Thanks.
bump... can anyone confirm if face detection is the default focus mode upon launching camera app??
I was wondering the same thing because when I first booted my phone and went to the camera and had face detection and I changed something that had nothing to do with face detection and it took it off and I've never had it back on since

The thing that makes go nuts is... my wife's note 2 has face detection as default focus mode! i looked at the setting under focus mode. it only shows auto focus and macro... no way you can choose face detection...

I always take photos of my kids playing, but i noticed a big problem with the G4 camera that any moving object looks blurred in the photos even if the movment is slow (eg. Turning heads etc.).
I did not have this problem with my previous Galaxy S5.
Anybody noticed this problem?
Someone mentioned that the camera seems to want to use slow shutter speeds and low ISO values, when left in Auto mode.
As Auto does not provide any adjustments at all, you'd either have to use Manual mode, or try another camera app that allows a little more control. Something to force the camera to use a higher ISO setting, and a faster shutter speed, which would help reduce blurring of moving objects.
Of course, this assumes you are in a well-lit area. If you're indoors, in a moderately-lit area, then you are going to have more trouble regardless.
Manually turn on the flash, that might help. You can toggle the flash mode even if the camera is in auto.
I have kids too and sometimes my pics of them come out blurry too...this is outdoors with a ton of light. These out of focus shots are not a shutter speed thing but more of an auto focus problem.
The camera always wants to re-grab focus whenever you take a picture when the subject is moving. My kids will be in the frame, in focus (green squares on screen to confirm) I push the camera button, then the damn software tries and refocus because my kids are running around, the auto focus pics the wrong focal point and then the shutter snaps...out of focus pic.
I too came from the S5 which had better software. On that phone, if I turned off burst shot, pushing and holding down the camera button would cause the camera to focus on the subject and lock it in, then when I released my finger, it would take an almost instantaneous picture and keep focus... end result always sharp pics of my kids even when running (as long as there was lots of light).
If G4 could have that feature, all would be perfect!
Ah, in that case, maybe try touching the screen to cause the camera to focus on the spot you touched. But, instead of touching the spot where your moving kids are, try touching a non-moving spot on the ground near them, but at the same focal distance. That way, your kids will also be in focus. If that still doesn't work, then maybe switch to manual mode to hold the focus manually.
I have noticed that when I take a selfie, and then click on it to view it, it displays normally for a second, but then auto-blurs the selfie. I don't actually like that- I'd rather see the real image, not a beauty-filtered one. How can I turn off whatever mechanism is doing this?
Are you talking about the blur/bokeh in portrait mode or face retouching? Portrait mode will blue the background while keeping the subject in focus. There is also an icon on the top left corner of the camera that looks like a face with a star on it which adjusts face retouching. Options are off, natural or soft. This is on both camera and portrait mode.
Additionally for photos you've already taken in portrait, when viewing them in the camera roll there are two copies of the image and you can toggle the bokeh/blur on and off.
I record in a slightly dark room. Focus works perfectly great, but the second a face pops into the frame, the camera looses focus and when the face leaves the frame, the camera has perfect focus again.
This is the main camera on the 6 Pro
I'm not tapping on the screen to focus, I'm just letting the camera / software do it's thing automatically

Pixel camera is up to date.
Anyone else have this issue and any fix?
