    Hi JLLA,

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like the camera has trouble focusing when moving the camera. I would recommend that you read this article, if your photos are blurred or out of focus.

     

    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

     

    Cheers,

    Mario

    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

    Hello mario49,

     

    Thanks for your suggestion i will have to try out.

     

    Will not be simple to ask the gospel choir with the 60 singers to come back

     

    to test again the iPhone6 camera focus  ...

     

    Greetings,
