iPhone6 camera focusing problem,doing a travelling on a group of singers.The cam doesn't know where to focus

Filming a gospel group with my iPhone 6, the cam tries to focus but when doing a "travelling" from left to right of the choir,

the cam blurs, tries to focus again, succeeds but then blurs again !!??

Hello Mario,


Thanks for answering my concern but there is a misunderstanding !


I am talking about a film and not a picture.


If i focus on ONE person in a group it will work but if i am doing a "travelling" from left to right


the camera is LOST and tries to focus again and again and again so the result is clear/blur/clear/blur

....in one word : unusable !!


This is the second shortcoming of the iPhone6 beside the other problem regarding the WiFi loss


of password and request to enter the WiFi password again and again in IOS 8.3 !!


I didn't expect these shortcomings migrating from Samsung to the iPhone !


Regards,

Greetings JLLA,


Thanks for the clarification. I can imagine this must be frustrating. If you want to lock the focus in a video you can by following the step in this article. You can do this in video and you will see a yellow banner at the top of the screen if it is done correctly.


Take photos and videos - iPhone

With an iSight camera, tapping the screen sets the focus and the exposure, and face detection is temporarily turned off. To lock the exposure and focus, touch and hold until the rectangle pulses.


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Take care,

Mario
